About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a loud prison comedy with competitive football action and a star-studded cast; Not for you if you dislike Adam Sandler, remakes, or prison drama, or if you only want something like Gridiron Gang.
Pros: prison comedy energy; entertaining football game; big-name cast | Cons: crude, knuckle-humor; mixed tone; some dumb moments
