Clichéd and predictable

Rating: Null/10 (27 February 2009)

This is a clichéd and completely predictable sports drama with Adam Sandler in the lead. The plot somehow conspires to send him to prison where he takes part in a football game against the prison guards. Every single sports movie cliché is present, the music is loud and manipulative, and the film is littered with juvenile humor and crass jokes. Burt Reynolds, the star of the original 'The Longest Yard' has a brief role. Sandler is alright though no one is really stretched in the film. James Cromwell sneers and gnashes his teeth in a bid to act menacing. Very mediocre film. Watch only if completely bored.
Overall 4/10
