The Longest Yard Reviews

Even though I had some rather low expectations since I never really enjoyed any movie starring Adam Sandler, I thought I could give it a try anyway. First of all, I have to admit that I have never seen the original version (I have seen 'Mean Machine' though) but I hope it is better than this flick. It's not that it was awful and/or annoying like so many other movies starring Sandler, it's just that it was rather boring and not really funny. The only really funny thing was that they expected us to believe that Adam Sandler could have been at some point a professional (American) football player... Even Chris Rock who can be quite hilarious didn't make me laugh at all. So, the whole thing was not really funny and rather tedious. Fortunately, exactly like in 'Mean Machine', the game at the end of the movie was quite uplifting and entertaining but it was not enough to make me forget the rest of the movie. Another redeeming feature was Courtney Cox and I must admit that she looked really stunning but she was there only during the first 10 minutes. Anyway, to conclude, I have seen worse movies starring Adam Sandler but it doesn't mean that this flick was really good and, eventually, I don’t think it is really worth a look.
