Thoughts
Watched this in tribute to Carl Weathers, although the guy falls out of a window and dies in this movie, so maybe it’s not the fondest farewell! I’ve not seen it before and was expecting plenty of Adam Sandler zaniness, but actually it wasn’t as out there as I’d feared. It’s not particularly good, but it has funny moments and has that strong 90s vibe with good songs over training montages and plenty of David vs Goliath moments throughout.
