i've done worse things with two hours...

Rating: 5/10 (7 November 1998)

well, this is one of the most average movies i have seen in a long time. i watched it with a bunch of people who played high school football and they absolutely loved it, but i couldn't help but think that this movie was really dumb. i always hope that talented and funny people like adam sandler will come up with something better than this but they always seem to take a basic formula and do a voice instead of playing a character for a whole film. it's not a good thing when the funniest moment in the film is unintentional (the lawrence taylor joke). and even when i would have imagined that an actress like kathy bates would have added some legitimacy to the film i was let down. she might have been the worst part - if one could ignore the constant dumb cameos by sports personalities - in a film that she could have made a winner.
