"Youuu Can Doooo Eeeet !"

Rating: 10/10 (9 July 2005)

Adam Sandler steps into a shallow role, but rises far above expectation and gave depth to a silly character. He also brings out the best in co-stars Henry Winkler and Kathy Bates. The movie is very funny - possibly one of Sandler's best castings. The characters are over-exaggerated, and the Cajun/Louisiana allusions abound. The portrayal of "foosball" is a comedic riot. This is a classic comedy, with several funny plot twists. Henery eclipses his role as "the Fonz" and plays a hapless football coach.
It's a family-friendly movie (limited cursing, football violence, and implied sexual innuendos).
