Horrible on all counts and virtually laugh free re-make that didn't need to be remade

Rating: 1/10 (31 May 2005)

THE LONGEST YARD (2005) * Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, Burt Reynolds, James Cromwell, Nelly, Nick Turturro, Eddie Bunker, Courteney Cox.
Lame brained comedic remake of the Reynolds' cult classic about a grudge match football game between prisoners and guards with Sandler ineptly taking the Reynolds role (who has a smaller role as the coach here) to no desired affect what-so-ever. Horrible on all counts and virtually laugh free in an amazingly stupid screenplay by SheldonTurner.
Why make a remake of a film that didn't need to be remade? (Dir: Peter Segal)
