Theatrical types keep your distance.... - The Longest Yard Reviews

... this movie is not for you! Sports fans, Footballers & Rappers, Get your butts in the seat! One of Sandlers "Top 2". Nevermind that Chicago Trib snob, Kevin Williams (see title line). The point of this remake is not to put into "Suspense". It is a Beat the Bad Guy, Bring your spirit up by the Boot Straps Comedy. It does just that! Need a lift right before your next game? Get your butt in the seat! My old azz was ready to dress out again! Even tho, I'd never get up again. Crewe (Sandler) showing Aikman skill and in an age of the "athlete converted to rapper" Megget (Nelly) one ups the musical wanna-be's with cuts & spins of a college rocket. Use the "n" word on Nelly... get your butt cooked. Deacon (Irvin), tough hardened panther type didn't show much new on the football field... but pay attention to the B-ball court. It only took the same two moves to make a GREAT scene! (Oh right, Sandler was pretty convincing too) Yes, "th Man" was depicted as a the steroid dropping storm trooper. I don't dis-like correctional officers after watching The Longest Yard... but you gotta admit the casting director did well! 6 foot 8 of semsitive nipples....damn! Take it from a football movie fanatic... ...get your butt in the seat!!! gig out
