Lets list 100 things that could have made this movie better. I'll start.
1. Leave Chris Berman's Fat ass out of it.
2.replace adam sandler with a better actor

0. There is NOTHING that could make this film better. It glorifies prison life, makes it appear that going to prison means free room and board and a FUN time just playing football all day. The writers to this film were idiots, so was everyone else involved. Burt Reynolds must be broke, he's been doing a lot of really bad movies lately, including this one.
share8. Kept Nelly's Dumb ass out of it.
share9. All you dumbasses keeping your mouths shut. People like you need to lower your standards just a tad. You wouldnt know a good movie if it came up behind you and bit you in the ass.

glad to see this made it into the top 10.

Go away, or I shall taunt you a second time!
oh my.. they are not spending they're time playing football all day? seriously, are u paying attention? or are u too dumb to notice. it was the guards who are playing. it was JUST a tune up game. a once in a lifetime event for the cons. oh my..
shareSorry I didn't watch the entire film, it was very bad and I don't waste my time on garbage, like people who sit through 4 hours of football on TV, watching men that make more money in a month than they'll (the fans) ever make in a lifetime.
shareit's no good replying to people like you so i'm just going to shut up..
oh and btw, u don't need to finish the whole movie to know that it was only a tune up game and the guards are the only one playing. so you must be one hell of a dumb person to miss that.

Hmm...charming. I figured some people viewed prison as a vacation resort! The problem is, you have to live with mostly CRUD while in there, so it wouldn't be worth it!!
share10 - if all the people who picked it apart would just realise its only a movie made for entertainment and if it doesn't entertain you then don't watch but understand you ARE NOT the be all and end all of who decides what is funny
you can't spell slaughter without laughter...
keep nelly out? wtf was wrong with him, his acting was amazing this movie.. and find better then sandler? good luck rofl,,
share11 - have goldberg fight austin with nash as the ref!
shareyeah Nelly is an amazing actor. It's Nelly and Al Pacino at the top. How do you sleep at night?
shareDon't convince me that Espn would televise a cons vs guards football game. They televise garbage at times, but not that bad.
shareA soundtrack that actually had some of the good classic rock that was in the movie instead of the rap only CD that came out.
shareGet a lead that is actually in shape that could actually look like a quarterback
Coming Soon... The December Man

12. Have the decency to invite Caretaker's mom to attend her (only?) son's funeral
13. Show what life was like for the inmates in the 6 months AFTER the fateful game in which they subjected their already-sadistic guards to humiliation, injury and gender confusion in front of a national audience. Something tells me that ping-pong privileges would be the least of their worries.
14. Ditch Adam Sandler, abandon the whole football angle, burn the footage/evidence and instead make a black comedy about the prison capers of notorious meat-pusher Cheeseburger Eddie & his number one customer (and human garbage disposal unit) Fat Tony. Call it 'McFelon'. Get Spike Jonze to direct. Collect Oscar.

This is apropos of not very much, but it is worth noting that the reason Sandler/Crewe winds up in that particular prison is because the warden is desperate to have a former NFL footballer around to help coach his team. Too bad his super-sophisticated computer system failed to spot A *beep* HEISMAN TROPHY WINNER (!!!) had been an inmate for years. Luckily for ol' ward-ski, the risk of shipping a newsworthy celebrity to a maximum security hellhole totally pays off when Sandler/Crewe reveals the closely-guarded secret formula to gridiron success - the holy 'tune-up game'. I don't know about you guys, but that's the kind of one-in-a-billion genius upon which I would gladly stake my prospective political career...
Despite the viscera I reserve for this horrendously-paced, emotionally-retarded waste of hard-drive space, I still gave it 3/10. After all, it's no 'Jack And Jill'.
15. Making this film more of a serious drama than comedy. Even with Sandler, it could have worked.
Protect wildlife.
Save the trees.
Wipe your ass with Owls.
haaa it is on SHOWTIME right now....and Berman's first scene was on as I was reading your post, LOL!!!!
Good post pal!
