A classic story made with your classic everyday crap

Rating: 4/10 (3 November 2005)

Paul Crewe(Adam Sandler) gets arrested after causing chaos with cops one night while extremely intoxicated. He is transfered to prison in which the warden has a prestigious football team made of guards so he can lead a team of inmates because the warden feels that his guards need a little practice/attention. Paul puts a team together with help of the caretaker(Chris Rock), coach(Burt Reynolds) and amazing running back(Nelly) for a chance to finally get back at the guards.
Let me start off by saying that as well-liked as Adam Sandler may be, he was a horrible choice for this film. I'm not saying that Burt Reynolds was a great choice for the original, but at least he was better than Adam Sandler. It was extremely hard to get over the idea of Adam Sandler being a professional football player, even if he was the quarterback. He was ineffective in every way and Paul Crewe is by far, his least funniest role he has ever played.
Besides making fun of the rest of the cast I will go on by saying that the movie was very unrealistic(I'm mainly taking of the football games), unenlightening, and just plain dull. It lacked the certain spark that every great comedy has and a certain dramatic effect that every sports movie has, making it more useless teenage garbage. Although the movie had its fair share of laughs, it was still unoriginal and boring in every other aspect. Overall, the movie was everything I predicted it would be: Useless crap.
I do not recommend this movie.
