Reviews
|
Variety -
Sandler impressively assumes the Reynolds role here, with strong support by Reynolds himself and a slightly restrained but frequently hilarious Chris Rock.
|
|
Charlotte Observer -
Its crass good humor makes it an enjoyable, reasonably faithful but over-the-top successor to the original.
|
|
The Hollywood Reporter -
This agreeable remake still manages to go the distance.
|
|
Miami Herald -
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.

Entertainment Weekly -
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.
