The Longest Yard1 And A Half Out Of 5The Longest Yard is a misguided plot driven feature whose fatal attempts to install humor forcibly gives it away within few minutes. As one does assume, the tone is similar as any other Sandler feature does and so does the humor and characters offered in here. It is short on technical aspects like sound department, background score, editing, costume and production design. The writing is weak and relies a lot upon the adaptation (except for humor) and offers a very little fresh perspective to feed upon. The updated screenplay might be funnier in its own terms but isn't something that holds the viewers and the primary reason would be its sometimes cheap humor and ludicrous attempts to draw in the laughs fails on whole life. Peter Segal; the director, requires some more work on the execution skills for it is uneven and loosely scattered around varied sequences. The performance by Adam Sandler is decent as he draws out most of the laughs but his supporting cast like Chris Rock and Burt Reynolds didn't seem in their A game. The Longest Yard is actually longer than it accounts for, as the blurred out vision of the destination never clears up for the makers.

Want to see a great football movie… here it is! The Longest Yard directed by Peter Segal. This a fantastic movie that will make you laugh until you cry. It stars Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, and Burt Reynolds, it released into theaters in 2005. The movie was produced by "Happy Madison" film productions. I've noticed that Adam Sandler has been in a lot of movies produced by Happy Madison, and every one I saw was really good. Adam Sandler and Chris Rock make a good on- screen duo, splitting the major character roles in the movie. The movie takes place in a prison camp where Paul Crewe (Adam Sandler), a former NFL quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers, is put in prison for a DUI for driving while he was carrying beer and taunting the police. He got put in charge of creating a football team of the inmates in the prison to compete against the guards in a semi-pro football game live on TV. Crewe met up with another inmate named Caretaker (Chris Rock.) Caretaker said he is terrible at football, so he decided to help Crewe help to form his team together. Lastly, he meets this former college and NFL coach named Nate Scarborough (Burt Reynolds.) Scarborough agreed to help Crewe collaborate with the football team to work the inmates into football shape. I really liked this film over all because I love comedy and football all together. It really sticks out in my mind how Paul Crewe formed this football team with the inmates who never played football a day in their lives. It was impressed that he never gave up on them, and they never gave up on him. Likewise, the comedy stood out to me the most. I was surprised how funny the movie was when I first watched it. Almost every seen cracked me up, and I couldn't stop laughing. For example, how one of the character's clothes lined one of players and said, "I think he sh** himself," The rest of the announcers and crowd said it as well, and I was laughing my head off. Lastly, how Turley said after Crewe decided to play the game, "good, now I don't need to stab you." Crewe was shocked and said, "good to know." The characters really seemed realistic, I've noticed that because it didn't look like they took any part of acting out, and they used their own emotions and feelings during the movie. I cared about what happened to the actors. For example, the collaboration of plays between in the game. Also, Crewe's passion for the team to win instead of him throwing the game instead of repeating what he did in the past. This movie was made in 2005, so I expected all the visual effects to be how they should be in the movie. There were no technical aspects in the movie. The soundtracks for this movie fit together so well. I didn't know the names of the songs, but they were all very sports-like and made the scenes perfect. The story of the movie made it compelling because of the plot, the characters, and the game of football. Every aspect that was listed made the movie great.The Longest Yard was a great movie. I recommend it to everyone who loves football and great comedy. Adam Sandler and Chris Rock make the movie perfect through their acting and the way they work with the co-stars. Also, the way throughout the movie how the characters learned to play football and work as a team, and never gave up. Lastly, the chemistry between all the actors in the movie, they've all worked together in other movies as well. They all tend to work together and like each other a lot. The Longest Yard is a movie that I would recommend to everyone.

The Longest Yard (2005): Dir: Peter Segal / Cast: Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, Burt Reynolds, James Cromwell, William Fichtner: Remake of the 1974 classic about endurance in both physical and mental conditions. Adam Sandler plays former football quarterback who ends up in prison and is ordered to put together a team to play against the guards. Typical setup grows repetitious but the big payoff is the tremendous football action. Directed by Peter Segal who has worked with Sandler in two previous films, Anger Management and 50 First Dates. Sandler does well as an inmate who remembers the glory days of football and wishes to revisit it but the conclusion really never leaves a positive vibe in terms of his future happiness. Chris Rock plays Caretaker who first befriends Sandler then help him put a team together as well as sabotage the opposing team. What occurs as a result of this may be seen as too far in bad taste. Burt Reynolds plays a former football coach who is underwritten. His appearance has all to do with the fact that he starred in the original film. James Cromwell plays the stereotypical warden who barks orders and sabotages when able. William Fichtner plays an aggressive guard, which is not much of a stretch. While the football action is done well, the screenplay is nothing more than a recycled rehash remake that is the longest yard in patience. Score: 5 / 10

there is a 2001 British film called mean machine starring vinnie jones and jason statham that is the original version of this movie. mean machine is about soccer, while this is about American football. same jokes, same character models, hell its the same damn movie different sport. mean machine is better acted and altogether better than this movie. its fair enough to say that any movie starring adam sandler that isn't billy madison or happy gilmour is either mediocre or crap. this movie falls in the mediocre category. i would really like for people to watch the British film mean machine and then watch this movie and realize how much of a blatant steal this movie is. im surprised the creators of this movie weren't sued for this movie. it is not an original movie at all.
