Overall a Good Funny Movie!

Rating: 7/10 (1 June 2005)

This movie is obviously a remake of the original "The Longest Yard" starring Burt Reynolds which was a hit comedy in 1974. This remake starring Adam Sandler is overall pretty good, it has occasional periods of humor especially from Chris Rock although Sandler is not as comical as he is in other roles. I probably find it a lot more up to date in the humor and actual character roles of all the main characters in comparison with the original. I actually think this film has more in common with the British Hit "The Mean Machine" starring Vinnie Jones and Jason Statham rather than the original "The Longest Yard" which both films are based upon. From the Troubled Hero sport star to the characteristic satanic guards "The Mean Machine" and "The Longest Yard" (2005), have a lot of similarities although "The Longest Yard" is far more comical. So to Conclude this is a pretty good funny film but not for the whole family, if you like this check out the film "The Mean Machine".
