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.
