i think this movie is a good remake of the first one. adam sandler plays the main character, which in the last one it was burt reynolds. this film has a great story line though more could have been added. the way caretaker dies is just aweful but is pretty cool. in the first film caretaker dies by gas pouring on him from the light bulb and him burning to death, in this film it is similar except instead of the bulb its the radio that explodes. adam sandler (paul crewe) gets blamed for it and if he doesn't throw the last football game he will remain in prison for the rest of his life.

I haven't laughed so hard in a very long time, and I mean it. A VERY long time. It was an awesome movie. It could've had a little better of a story though...

The original is better, but this movie was not awful. It is cool watching people that we actually know, like Adam Sandler and Chris Rock, so I must say that I do not think that this movie was so horrible, I must say that I was surprised to see a remake being so good, but still it was nothing new or original.

I saw this movie on the plane, and I really liked it. It was funny and very entertaining for a boring plane trip. Adam Sandler is great, but it was devastating to see one of the characters die.

Not a comedy classic, but along with `The Wedding Singer`, this is definately one of Adam Sandler's best films.

The football footage is good, there are plenty of amusing characters, and there is even the odd surprising moment of drama.

Out of a recent flush of cinematic remakes, this is actually one of the few that is worth a watch.
