05.31.05Cinemark Pflugerville So this is both a prison movie and a football movie. Since I happen to like aspects of both these kinds of movies, I was pretty entertained by this. Going in, like my buddy said, I knew it would be decent but I also knew it wouldn't be great. That's pretty much what I got: just a good time but nothing to write home about. Sandler's charm works in this context but it's some of the supporting cast that gets the biggest jokes. I want to see WIlliam Fichtner in more comedic roles because his eyes freak me out when he plays the bad guy. It had some laughs though, some cool tackles, some testosterone-pumped prison male-bonding, etc. Throw in a coke and some nachos and you have a pretty decent time.
