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.
