Title: The Longest Yard
Post by: Mr_Pleasington on May 30, 2005, 11:51:04 PM

If you didn't already know, don't see it.

It is excellent in its mediocrity.

I think Adam Sandler has forgotten how to be funny.  Happy Gilmore was the last really fun movie he was in.  Big Daddy was okay, but nothing spectacular.

And let's not forget that the movie tries to get you to root for the bad guys.  The convicts.  The murderers, rapists, and thieves.  I started to give in and root for them before I realized just exactly what was going on.  

Boo.  Hiss.

I haven't even seen the original, which means I'd better stay away from Burt or he'll slap me.
