The Longest Yard Touchdown! ****

Rating: 10/10 (3 May 2014)

By far, Adam Sandler's best film as he portrays a disgraced ex-football player caught up in a point shaving scandal and sentenced to probation. When he goes on a drunken spree, he lands up in the typical southern prison-in Texas- where head warden James Cromwell is out become governor and arranges a football game between the inmates and the guards.
The idea that prisoners are also people is well presented here. There is plenty of racism, not all in a comical way, that depicts life in a southern prison for African-Americans.
Faced with being charged as a co-defendant in the murder of an inmate, Chris Rock, Cromwell tries to force Sandler to throw the game.
