This is hands down, a great movie

Rating: 10/10 (29 May 2005)

If anyone has ever seen the original movie starring Burt Reynolds, it's hard to walk into this movie with completely open-mind on account of all the other movies that have tried to surpass its predecessors these days. I went into this movie thinking that it would be good for a few laughs of course, because it's starring Adam Sandler and Chris Rock,but little did I know that I would leave with the mindset that "I'm buying this on DVD the day it comes out!" This movie stayed mostly true to the original, the differences being, besides the actors, a ton of knee-slapping laughter. The audience of the theater I was in, and I must have laughed nearly th whole movie. Not only did this movie have priceless comedy, but it had a storyline that wasn't to far-fetched.Plus, it had hard hitting sports filmography to entertain the even the least athletic crowd. I must say though that Chris Rock stole the show with his countless brilliant 1 liners and comedic timing, with the rest of the cast not to far behind him. Not once did this movie get boring and not once did this movie get real stupid. The laughter and interesting story just kept coming, keeping you into the movie. Another good thing about the movie, was that as we all know, the ending can make or break a movie, in this case, the ending (though kinda predictable)made it for a great movie. I'd highly recommend this movie to comedy fans and sports fans alike.
