What critics compared Rules of Engagement to
Among the newcomers to the cast are Sandler favorite Nick Swardson (“That’s My Boy”) as Nick, the town’s drug-addled school bus driver, Oliver Hudson (Spade’s co-star on TV’s “Rules of Engagement”) as Kyle, the ladies’ gay personal trainer, and Shaquille O’Neal as gun-waving police officer Fluzoo.
Friedkin’s work here is far more interesting and lively than the self-serious studio dramas for middle-aged men he made ten years ago like Rules of Engagement and The Hunted.
William Friedkin (The Exorcist, The French Connection) can certainly lay claim to cultural touchstones, but this is one of his lesser works, much closer to directorial efforts such as Jade and Rules of Engagement.
