EW's GRADE
C+

Details Release Date: May 27, 2005; Rated: PG-13; Length: 114 Minutes; Genre: Comedy; With: Chris Rock and Adam Sandler; Distributor: Paramount Studios

Adam Sandler is cuddly where Burt Reynolds was once slithery, in a defanged remake of the jailhouse-gridiron underdog saga about convicts versus guards on the playing field. Chris Rock supplies mouthy race jokes.
