Ex-football super star, Paul Crewe (Sandler) is busted for drunk driving and stealing his girlfriends car. He gets sent to prison where he is unanimously hated by all the inmates from day 1 for an incident that made him infamous. He was accused of shaving points off a football game which also put an end to his football career. The only person supporting him is Caretaker (Rock) who has been ranked as the least threatening prison inmate by the guards. Warden Hazen (Fichtner) wants Crewe to help coach the prison guards' football team who has been consistently losing for the past few years. Crewe tells him that his team needs a tune-up game where they beat an extremely weak team which would highly motivate the prison guards team. Hazen gets a brilliant idea of organising an inmates team which would play against the prison guards. The inmates were to be headed by Crewe and are supposed to lose. Crewe motivates the inmates by telling them that this is their chance to beat up all the prison guards and that they should join the team. Former football star Nate Scarborough (Reynolds) joins the team as coach along with a host of violent inmates eager to give the prison guards a good thrashing. The movie is definitely a fun watch and is hilarious on more than one occasion. Each and every character in the movie has a definite and unique identity which makes the movie a lot more interesting. A remake of the 1974 film of the same name.
Thumbs up: Amazing characters
Thumbs down: A bit more humour to make it even better
