This surpasses the original by a touchdown!

Rating: 9/10 (3 June 2006)

I remember seeing "The Longest Yard" with Burt Reynolds as the star. Now they got a remake with Adam Sandler, I was a bit hesitant of seeing it. But when I saw the cast, including Burt Reynolds. I said to myself, "Hey, What the hey?" Adam Sandler plays Paul Crewe, a gridiron great who gets it when he wrecks the car by letting police cruisers smash into it. That's a far cry from what Burt Reynolds character did to it. He sends it into the water, deep water. The cast and characters are unbelievable. Some SNL alums, and some sports stars to make the movie. Football, wrestling, R&B star Nelly, man can it get any better that this? The scenes are outrageous, I liked the part where this towering prisoner named Turley(Dalip Singh) kicks the burly guy in the helmet and breaks his nose. Then in the football game, Crewe threw the ball at the referee's groin twice. Can't make the call with your friends in pain. HAHA! Then I liked the part where Battle(Bill Goldberg) switched the steroids with estrogen pills. This movie really surpassed the 1974 version, and it's a lot funnier as well. A new classic is in the making. Enjoy it after the Super Bowl! Rating 4 out of 5 stars.
