The Longest Yard Reviews

LONGEST YARD

If you liked Waterboy and Mean Machine then this film is for you! Adam Sandler is a former American Football Player who is banished from the game due to 'cutting points'. In his spiral down from fame Sandler is caught Driving Under the Influence of alcohol. He is sent to prison where is forced to put together a team of cons against the guards, for the wardens entertainment and guards practice. This film has some genuine laugh out loud moments. There are a number of stars including Burt Reynolds, Nelly, Chris Rock, and wrestlers Goldberg and Stone Cold Steve Austin. If you want a feel good movie with plenty of jokes then watch this film! A must for Adam Sandler fans!

Back to his Best

Pretty good film considering the poor job he did with 'Spanglish', very funny and a lot of high profiled celebs are included in the cast.

I'd say this is on a par with some of his better films like 'Billy Maddison' and the 'Water Boy' but slightly differnt to anything he's done before.

And hey if you don't like Adam Sandler watch it for the first 5 minutes of Courtney Cox's smashing breasts :D

Enjoy

This isn't your typical Sandler film not once does he really lose his temper and there is no Steve Buscemi.

Admittedly Sandler can miss (Little Nicky) as well as hit (Happy Gilmore, The Waterboy) this film is fortunately more hit than miss.

If you are a Sandler fan then you'll be glad to see Rob Schneider and is "you can do it" role.

Basically the smae film as the original Burt version and the more recent Vinnie Jones version. This film relies on the old jokes and the hard hits.

Chris Rock is close to his stand up with some very close to the knuckle gags.

If you like sports films then this is for you.

If you like this and haven't see any of the following then check them out...

Major League, Happy Gilmore, The Waterboy.

A poor Mans Mean Machine

I don't know whether i'd have liked this film, had i not already seen Mean Machine with Vinnie Jones and loved it. Everything about The Longest Yard was just a corny, all American version of Mean Machine. Obviously based on the same story, as parts of the script were scarily familiar and they both had 'Mean Machine' as a team name. With Adam Sandler as the lead role, i expected it to be hilarious, but the only god send was Chris Rock. A few moments where i laughed, but otherwise i just kept comparing to Vinnie and co's excellent performance.

To sum up, a poor mans Mean Machine :-D

The longest Yard Reloded

Gues most of you know the origanal movie made in 1970/80?! Infact they didn't change anything except the actors, but still good acctually and well played from Adam Sandler.

Worth watshing it for fun.

Disappointed

I have seen alot of Adam Sandler films, but I have to say I was disappointed by this film. It didn't really hold my attention, and although there were some funny bits, I believe this film could have been so much better.

Only a four from me for this one....
