Some movies shouldnt be remade and this is one - The Longest Yard Reviews

TLY was not a bad movie. However, if you want to see a good movie and you must see TLY, rent the original. Although the Sandler version has more humor, its rude and crude, poorly acted and lacking in any real emotional sense. Crewe and Caretakers relationship "just was" and wasnt really developed so when Caretaker dies, who cares? Crewe wasnt at all a likeable character. Sandler failed to connect to the audience they Reynolds does in the original. They tried to stay true to the first, keeping in the ending and a few key lines, but they changed so much of the tone and set-up of this version that they should have just used the title and created a whole new movie. I also dont think they needed to curse as often as they did as it didn't add to the humor. I have no issues with cursing, but it needs to have a vaule and not be a curse just becuase the writters had nothing better to say. A lot of this movie was ok, but the sum of this movie was very bad.

Another awesome sports comedy from sandler - The Longest Yard Reviews

Adam Sandler came through again and provided yet another entertaining sports movie. I will upfront mention that I have not seen the original so I am unaware of what is similar to the original and what is not. First off, I enjoyed seeing all of the Arena players in the movie along with a lot of other semi-big name athletes. They all played their parts well. I hate Bill Romanowski even more for being such the ***** he was in the movie... but then again, he has a lot of practice in real life. The movie even goes as deep to cross occurances from the players lifes into the movie such as Romo on steroids or spiting on players. The story was enjoyable and you were very easily connected to the characters within the first 30 minutes. My complaint of movies lately is being unable to connect with the characters, but this movie had no problem. Rock and Sandler provided what you would expect from them, though I thought Reynolds played a little more of a role than I would have liked to have seen. While somewhat corny at times, the laughter is delivered until the very end. The cinematography was sharp and clean. Nothing award winning, but visually pleasing. Overall, this is one of the more humorous movies I've seen in quite some time. I did eager anticipate this movie and it fully lived up to everything I expected. Anyone who enjoys your typical physical and someone sexual humor every now and then would also enjoy this. My 22 year old girlfriend also greatly enjoyed the movie so it would be a great date movie that both the girls and guys could enjoy.

Uh... didn't they remake this movie once already? - The Longest Yard Reviews

Hey just real quick as I hate to give anything having to do with Adam Sandler any more attention than necessary. Let's just say this, me seeing this movie is because I lost a coin flip with my brother about what to go see. I wanted to see Layer Cake and he wanted to see this piece of crap. Anyway hours later we both wished I had won. Plus it took him about two minutes to realise that aside from the original we already have this movie sitting on our shelf. It's called Mean Machine. It was made by the same producers as the movie Snatch and instead of being about American Football it's about Soccer. That movie is great it's funny it's dramatic at times and it's all around a good rental. This is some of the worst trash ever made and I love Chris Rock. I just cannot deal with freaking Adam Sandler. He was funny on SNL he was great in Punch Drunk Love, but for some reason he genuinly believes that he's capable of carrying a whole flick. For all the Adam Sandler fans in the world where unfortunately there are alot of you. You'll absolutely revel in this movie. You'll laugh so hard you'll probably near the point of losing control of bodily function. If you have any taste or like the original you'll pretty must be lost for the entire flick. It's just not good, it doesn't have redemptive value anywhere it just sucks. Read the rest of my reviews I can always find something to compliment even in flicks I hate. This one is just trash.

"the longest yard" is great! - The Longest Yard Reviews

"The Longest Yard" is great! This is one of Adam Sandler's best! This is a great remake! Nice to have Burt Reynolds in the remake as he was in the original.

Just two yards away from perfect! - The Longest Yard Reviews

All this movie needs is more of Chris Rock. He is probably in this movie for at least a half hour. Towards the end of the movie is what dissapointed me about Chris Rock's character, although I won't say what happed because then it you will know what happened, but for those of you have already seen THE LONGEST YARD, you probably know what I am talking about. This movie is very funny, from beginning to end there are laughs. But as the movie goes along, more laughs come pouring out. This is probably one of the best Adam Sandler movies i've seen. Last year he was in SPANGLISH and 50 FIRST DATES, which I did enjoy both, but they both were not this funny. SPANGLISH I thought last year was more of a drama with some funny momments within the film, but overall I think this may be the funniest Adam Sandler movie since THE WATERBOY.

Not a typical sandler movie... better! - The Longest Yard Reviews

This moive way surpased my expectations. I had read the critics reviews and seen that my local newspaper only gave it one start, but still the really cool previews brought me to the theaters to see it for myself. This movie contains many of the slapdick elements of most Sandler films (such has rob snyeider yelling his classic line "you can do it") but also incorporates many other elements. For example: chris rock's racist humor which exploits stereotypes is largely effective (in other words I laughed my ass off). Fans of the original "longest yard" will not be dissappointed as the plot actually follows the original very closely. Also the alstar cast of tough guys such as (micheal irving, stone cold steve austin, goldberg, bill romanowski, and others) makes the movie very enjoyable for veiwers. In conclusion, GO SEE THIS MOVIE NOW. IT'S AWESOME!

Back off - The Longest Yard Reviews

Very funny! This is a great opportunity to relax and enjoy Adam Sandler. To all the jealous jerks who found this one a mistake: Any idiot would know to not walk into this movie expecting a saga.
