The Longest Yard - the best movie

limerick_man

Ok,
By a long shot the best movie of the year, In my opinion has got to be The Longest Yard!

But I knew it had to be great, my two favourite comedians... Adam Sandler and Chris Rock, both in the same movie, thats just ... magical!!

Some of the tackles etc., are hilarious, By far its way beter than the original (and that little English soccer one they made)

LOL, the IAFL could learn alot from those guys! heehee

You thinking about The Mean Machine?

I dunno, mean machine was a great movie.

I'll watch it, but I dont like the combo of rock and sandler.

Mostly because Rock can't act to save his life.

mean machine was a uk themed remake of the original longest yard http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071771/ with burt reynolds in the lead part.

as was (obviously) this new movie. thought it was okay, but wouldn't say movie of there year. you won't see even a hint of it at any of the big awards.

the problem is, that adam sandler will always be billy madison/happy gilmore no matter what he does. and chris rock will forever be pookie from new jack city. he's a funny (if somewhat repetitive & predictable) comedian, but he's never going to win an oscar.

6/10 from me.

3/10 for me, and thats only because I thought the mini-storyline with the black tranny and the **** player getting it on was humourous.

The rest was utter horse****, the real problem with an american football themed movie is that the squad is going to have to be far bigger leaving you with denny-style wafer thin characters, some important characters not even being introduced properly and a dramatic change of character from the main guard.

****ing bull**** movie.

Muck.

Worst Adam Sandler movie ever.

Hope you're joking. Saw it in the states when it first came out and it was a disgrace and not a patch on the original. How Burt Reynolds got involved in this farce is beyond me :rolleyes:
