About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a goofy, over-the-top sports spoof with slapstick and a simple undercover setup; Not for you if you need grounded emotion, consistent humor, or believable chemistry like in Rush Hour 2.
Pros: silly premise; some big laughs; memorable villain | Cons: uneven humor; thin characters; forced romance
