Title: Movie Review: The Longest Yard Post by: jtex316 on January 16, 2006, 12:50:09 pm So i finally got my first ever Netflix movie, and I got "The Longest Yard", starring Adam Sandler.
Rating: Good / Decent I was thinking this movie was going to be a total shit fest, but it sold me when the multiple sports cameo appearances started happening. There were also a few wrestling cameo appearances. Here are some of the "name" people appearing in this movie: Dan Patrick Nelly Michael Irvin Bill Romanowski Stone Cold Steve Austin Kevin Nash / Diesel Goldberg Brock Lesnar Adam Sandler Chris Rock Courtney Cox James Cromwell Burt Reynolds Peter King Chris Berman I thought I saw Tony Siragusa in there So overall I liked it, it was a good 2 hours.

Title: Re: Movie Review: The Longest Yard Post by: VidKid on January 16, 2006, 01:31:03 pm It was ok. The original was better. And there is no way Adam Sandler is a QB and a leader. It's just not him.
Title: Re: Movie Review: The Longest Yard Post by: Sunstroke on January 16, 2006, 05:22:18 pm The original was such an amazing movie because no one had ever made that mix (sports-prison) on a big-budget level before, and the acting, for that time period, was excellent. One of my earliest movie memories is sneaking in to the Elks Theater with my buddy Dean Moore to see it because it was about football. We got about halfway through it before the manager came down to the front row and escorted us out. Between this one and Smokey and the Bandit, most of the kids my age were pretty huge Burt Reynolds fans back then. He was a grown-up that acted like a kid, and that = cool. Plus, as if that wasn't enough, he got to go home every day after work and suckle on Loni Anderson's major league yabos...the lucky dog.

Title: Re: Movie Review: The Longest Yard Post by: jtex316 on January 16, 2006, 06:30:06 pm I didn't even know there was an "original", but I probably won't like it. It's just like when a movie review starts out with "The book doesn't match what...". There's a reason it's a book.

As for the remake, it is a damn good one. Title: Re: Movie Review: The Longest Yard Post by: TEKGOD on January 17, 2006, 07:26:05 am adam sandler movies suck ass. generic story line, generic outcome, junior high jokes, 0 laughs. My 2 cents.
