Brainless, And No Fun

Rating: 1/10 (28 April 2002)

With so many people stating that this movie is "brainless fun" you have to worry. I can only agree with the former part of that statement -- there isn't a funny moment in it unless you are tickled by a Southern retard making it big in football -- oops, major spoiler, I just revealed the entire plot, sorry. Anyway it certainly, definitely, for sure isn't intelligent, so why bother. I saw it on TV and was just stunned by the lack of everything that makes a movie, the only entertaining bit was seeing Cathy Bates in the most humiliating role of her distinguished career, if you are into that sort of thing. And if that wasn't bad enough, it was actually a CLONE of an EARLIER, equally DISMAL, Adam Sandler flick ("Happy Gilmore"), only this time it's with football rather than golf, AND both movies were major box office hits! Please gag me with a tongue depressor before I start ranting about a world inhabited by morons with too much money to spend ... there, I did it.
