Adam Sandler shines in another kick-ass comedy

Rating: 10/10 (3 September 2005)

This is an absolutely brilliant film, I was one of the lucky ones who saw a special advance screening in the UK. In typical fashion, Adam Sandler delivers a well weighted, laid back performance as Crewe. This film has an amazing line-up, with wrestlers such as Stone-Cold Steve Austin as a highlight. Damon from Friday after Next, rapper Nelly, and even the funny Latino guy from The Waterboy ("You Can Do It"). Chris Rock shines as a very funny, albeit somewhat racially motivated caretaker. All in all this film is very well held together. I haven't seen the original, but this film will go a long way worldwide. Even the convict's cheerleaders are worth a mention, and every other character chips in well with his part. Expect this film to do very well once it's fully released in the UK
