Horrible

Rating: 1/10 (4 October 2005)

This is by far the worst movie I have seen in recent years. I had no interest in the movie due to the inappropriate and inconceivable premise, I was shocked to find out that my low expectations were not low enough. The acting is stilted and awkward, the plot has holes you could drive a mack truck through, and the overarching moral and ethical implications are disgusting. Are we supposed to root for a bunch of convicts (rapists, murderers, arsonists, drunks) simply because prison guards haven't shown them a great deal of hospitality!?!? Give me a break! What does it say about this country when a stadium full of fans are cheering "Convicts! Convicts" in support of society's derelicts. I am shocked that people are able to respond to this film in a manner other than pure disgust and contempt. This film is racist, sexist, and degrading towards anyone with an IQ over 15. The Longest Yard was the Longest Hour and a half of my life and I would do just about anything to get it back!
