I thought this movie was going to be really bad. The commercials made it look like a buddy comedy between Cedric the Entertainer and Tommy Lee Jones; in truth Cedric wasn't in there all that much. I don't even know why he was in there at all, his character didn't make that much sense. An ex-cheerleader turned ex-con turned snitch turned preacher? They were really reaching on that one, and his character didn't really have anything to do with moving the plot along.
On the other hand, Tommy Lee Jones was great. He plays such a great straight-man to the cheerleaders'antics. Was the plot formulaic? Yes. Could you see some of the jokes coming from a mile away? Yes. Did all that make it any less entertaining and funny? Hell, no! I rented it just because the video store didn't have anything else, but now I'm glad I did. Oh, and the cheerleaders are smoking hot, that never hurt a movie either. Worth the rental.
