If The Longest Yard hit the spot, these will too

Peter Segal directing both, with the same fingerprints on each
The difference: Critics rated this one higher still

One thread runs through both: corruption

Both keep coming back to the same thing: prison

The same mix in both: stillness, then wit

Playful where it counts, gritty underneath

Both lean on wit more than on comedy
The difference: Takes it somewhere less contemplative than The Longest Yard does

Crime built on play, twice over

The same preoccupation in both: prison


Witty comedy, and it commits to that

Crime with a pulse of play, in both cases

Both lean on stillness more than on drama
In the mood for more contemplative?
