Meh...had some funny parts, but Tiff and I were basically calling what would happen next...and we were right on.

Too predictable, too basic. Hollywood garbage.

Good NFL cameos though...and the steroids vs. estrogen guy was really funny

2.5 out of 5.

You know that was Kevin Nash right? Yeah he was funny, as well as the McDonald's guy.

Good Comedy movie IMO. 3.5/5

Oddly enough I watched this last night.

2/5

Half good, half horrible cast. And, though I do not expect an oscar winning script for a movie like this. The dialog, most of the time, was worse than a saturday night live skit.

Some funny moments but most of the humor was WAY too forced. Which made it different than movies like billy madison and happy gilmore.

PS: I did not know that courtney Cox's Tits were that big? When did she get them done?

Er, you do know this was a remake, right? Makes it a little easier to predict what will happen next methinks.

She hadn't seen the original and was able to predict two parts seconds before they happened.

I was so proud!

I don't think I've seen a sports-based movie that wasn't predictable. They all follow the same formula, unless they go for the "twist" ending and don't win. But all that is, is Hollywood setting up the sequel where they will win.

What about Million Dollar Baby? That was a sports movie and the ending was no where near to being predictable.

Women's boxing is not a sport...

Funny to say that when just about any professional woman boxer could kick your ass in under 30s flat.

First of all, how many "women" are actually in women's boxing. Most of them are transgendered or "used to be dudes"

And second, you cant compare women to men in a sport like this.

Ever watch basketball in slow motion?
Oh yeah, that is watching the WBNA
