Quotes by Peter Segal

“Obviously, everybodys familiar with Chris addictions throughout his life. What I feel good about, watching this movie, is that he was completely clean and sober and really worked hard on it.”

“When Reynolds played the part, he was a sex god, ... He was the best-looking man on the planet and the world’s biggest star. That’s intimidating, but Adam grabbed that and really made the role his own. He’s as funny as ever, but he also shows a gritty side to himself. He’s going to surprise a lot of people.”

“When Crewe gets to prison, football is the last thing on his mind, ... It’s part of his bitter past. So, when he’s recruited by the warden to lead a team of inmates versus a team of prison guards, he doesn’t want anything to do with it. But even though he’s forced into it, he’s given a second chance to get some respect for the game - and that becomes something meaningful for his fellow inmates, his band of criminals and misfits.”
