The Longest Yard Review (DVD)

I haven’t seen the original Longest Yard and I heard bad things about this version of the movie. Despite expecting a terrible movie, I had to see it just to support Adam Sandler and Chris Rock. Longest Yard ended up being surprisingly fun. This movie has some funny scenes and you have to accept that it isn’t going to be very intelligent. The best part of the movie is recognizing all of the real-life NFL, WWE and mixed-martial arts guys that were cast in this movie. The Longest Yard basically takes every big muscle guy from all the recent action movies and puts them together in prison. As soon as you think that’s the biggest guy in the movie another monster is introduced. Let’s just say that Goldberg looks small compared to some of the other guys. In addition to the biggest guys you’ll ever see, the cast includes several ESPN personalities and other SNL comedians. This movie is fun for picking out all the celebrities and watching some mindless violence in the form of prison football.

The Longest Yard = decent rental
