“I got to see the same sneak preview movie at the theatre last week. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWith all the TV advertising and trailers at the movies I thought the film was coming out soon, but I just checked and they said it wonu0026#39;t hit the Cineplex until May 27th!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003ePrediction? It will the box office winner on Memorial Day weekend. Perfect time to come out with a football picture because all the NFL fans are fed up with Arena football and thirsty for any real football.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWell, what can I say about the movie? Loved it! Very entertaining. You could get into the characters, no matter how despicable they were and you were rooting for them. Of course the story is an old one. They filmed it in 1974 with Burt Reynolds and it is about prisoners playing a football game against the guards. Itu0026#39;s a comedy, but boy it is Violent with a capital V.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt is a real macho man movie and everyone is going to love it. Adam Sandler gets beat up or beat down a lot in the movie, they give the best lines and jokes to Chris Rock and there will be a few other Saturday Night Live people you will recognize in it. There are a lot of scenes of cheap shots and unsportsmanlike conduct. Very physical, very brutal. Some scenes will make you cringe. You will feel their pain. Not blood and guts with stabbings or shootings, but extreme football hurts and hits.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eYes itu0026#39;s a comedy and yes itu0026#39;s funny, but also ultra violent, did I mention that already? Now I know why I gave up on football in high school and focused more on Cross Country and Track u0026amp; Field…because I realized I would live longer if I competed in a sport where no one is trying to injury me or knock you out of competition.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eA great film? No, but people will feel they got their moneyu0026#39;s worth and yes, it will be popular on DVD with outtakes and behind the scenes footage. I canu0026#39;t see it getting a PG-13 rating, not with all the language and use of the u0026quot;Nu0026quot; word by the cookie cutter, steroid popping sadistic guards.”
