Reviews

Variety - Joe Leydon
Sandler impressively assumes the Reynolds role here, with strong support by Reynolds himself and a slightly restrained but frequently hilarious Chris Rock.
75
Charlotte Observer - Lawrence Toppman
Its crass good humor makes it an enjoyable, reasonably faithful but over-the-top successor to the original.
70
The Hollywood Reporter - Michael Rechtshaffen
This agreeable remake still manages to go the distance.
63
Miami Herald - Connie Ogle
Whether you'll enjoy this loud and rowdy remake of a 1974 Burt Reynolds film depends on your tolerance for three things: football, Adam Sandler and unabashed product placement.
58
Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Schwarzbaum
Each joke and one-liner is a made-for-HBO zinger, each scene with Sandler a reaffirmation of the old friendship between the two successful SNL alums.
