"Walter Matthau is brilliant in this film. This movie pushes boundaries in the most joyous way. Equally inspirational and edgy all these years later."
"A rugged and honest sports film. Tough at its core. A real 'man's man' film."
"This movie is absolutely hysterical. I double over laughing every time I watch it. Charlie Sheen, Wesley Snipes, James Gammon, and Dennis Haysbert give hilarious performances in one of my favorite ensemble comedies ever."
