It never bodes well for a movie when the studio tries to sell it based solely upon the fact that the star was just in another movie that did very well. So look at this one. First, look at the star. Then look at the tagline. Better still, look at the advertisement for the movie on the sidebar of this page, with the big Jesus-face next to the strategically chosen word. Is that really the best thing they could think of to say about their own movie?

Reminds me of seeing this movie on the shelf at a video store. Look at the quote on the cover. Why didn't they just say, "Hey idiot! It's that dude from the other movie you saw! Now you have to watch this one!" Am I the only one who isn't filled with confidence that this would be the best use of my two hours?

It's frustrating because I can hit the ball 320 yards with my driver when I really connect. But it's a 1/100 chance I ever hit it farther than 100 yards. [Mad]

I rule mini golf.

Speed,

It is not as bad as using a picture from a previous movie to market a different movie by the same actor. *coughs--Jet Li*

Well, The Passion ads didn't have anything about him being the Count of Monte Cristo.

Actually, I thought that it was pretty clever.

I saw that tag line and it immediately made me cross this movie off of my list.

I'll just rent "tin cup" again...

I heard they're making a sequel featuring Adam Sandler as the Archangel Michael.

I grow more tired of Adam Sandler every movie I see him in. He just doesn't make me laugh like he used to. It's just hard to beat Happy Gilmore. [Dont Know]
