The Longest Yard

For most of "The Longest Yard", I sat there hating it. Adam Sandler is no Burt Reynolds (and if
that ain't damning, nothin' is). The movie had no subtlety, no charm, no charisma....and frankly, no reason to exist.

That said, the final football game -- with its formulaic and utterly predictable ending -- still grabbed me. Not enough to recommend that anyone should see this movie, mind you....

And, just out of curiousity, who deemed the original as worthy of remake? If we're remaking films, shouldn't we at least remake good ones?

Okay, okay....I did like the original. But formula and charm do not equal classic.

Adam Sandler should go back to making other films.

Or not.
