Review of The Longest Yard

Rating: 7/10 (18 November 2010)

The Longest Yard The Longest Yard is a funny movie with a good story line. The movie takes place in a county jail. There are some cool people in this jail that help out the Protagonist.
The movie starts out in a big, nice house with a huge party going on. Paul Crew (Adam Sandler) is sitting in his room, drinking, alone. He decided to take his girlfriends car out for a ride and gets arrested. Now, he is in a county with a Warden that really likes football. Crew used to be a Quarterback in the NFL, so the Warden makes him a deal. Crew has to put a football team together to play against the guards. Crew rounds up a team and they practice for a few weeks until the season for the guards starts. They go up to a high school in Texas. The stands are full of people and highly skilled riflemen to shoot the convicts if they try to escape. The game starts and Crews team starts to win, the Warden doesn't like that. So the Warden threatens crew with the murder of Caretaker. Caretaker is one of Crews friends who got murdered in Crews cell. The Warden makes a deal with Crew that if he throws the game then he will not charge crew with the murder.
Crew is a nice guy who just wants to get out of jail and doesn't like people messing with him. He decides it's a smart idea to take out one of the biggest guys in the jail, so that no one else will mess with him. The Warden does not like Crew, because Crew does not follow his rules at all. The Warden is just a stuck up, mean, quick tempered old guy. No one really likes the Warden even the guards don't like him.
The movie was made with a sense of humor in almost every scene. The only part that was sad was when Caretaker died. The rest of the movie was very, very funny. I would recommend this movie to anyone who has a sense of humor, or anyone who likes football cause that's what this whole movie is about.
