Have you ever seen the movie longest yard? Well it is adam sandler and he goes to jail and every year they have a football game and it's the guards and the inmates, and adam ends up putting a team together and they prepare for the game for months. Then the day comes and the start playing and the ref wont call anything against the guards and I cant say wat happens then, but you should watch this if you like football. You should also watch this if u are interested in what goes on in a jail. Also if you don't like football or jails you shouldn't watch this. So I would sugest to you if u like football you should watch this movie it a great movie.

Not A Classic Sandler Comedy But Still A Good Remake
Added 7/24/2009
"The Longest Yard" (2005 Version) is a remake to the original "The Longest Yard" released in 1974 that starred Burt Reynolds. This time around, comedian Adam Sandler replaces Reynolds in this good remake. "The Longest Yard" also stars Chris Rock, Nelly, James Cromwell, William Foryster, & Burt Reynolds making a return & having a significant role in the movie as well. The movie also has a great deal of former NFL players & WWE wrestlers to portray certain roles in the film such as Michael Irvin, Bob Sapp, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Kevin Nash, & Bill Goldberg among others.
The movie starts out with Paul Crewe (Sandler), a former NFL MVP pro quarterback star suspended indefinitely due to shaving points off a football game, goes on a huge wrecking spree as he (while intoxicated) crashes his girlfriend's car while on a big police chase from the cops. This little wrecking spree would indeed send Crewe to Allenville Prison.
While in prison, Warden Hazan (James Cromwell) asks Crewe to be the quarterback for his semi-pro guards football team to win back the championship. Crewe rejects the offer at first & would be given a hard time from the warden until Crewe agrees to do anything that the warden wants. After spending a week in the hot box, the warden gives Crewe another chance to be the quarterback for the guards, however, Crewe comes up with an idea for the guards to have a warm-up game against the inmates before the season starts with Crewe being the quarterback for the inmates. Crewe then gets Caretaker (Rock) & Nate Scarborough (Reynolds) to help him recruit the meanest, ruthless, & biggest inmates for his team.
At first, the inmates only joins the team to get revenge on the guards for the hard time they recieved from the guards while doing their time in prison but as time goes on they earn the respect of each other. When it comes to game day, Crewe just plays the game for the warden but as the game goes on, Crewe realizes he wants to win not only the game but also friendship from his team of inmates. When it is all set & done, Crewe, along with his team of inmates, gets the best of the guards & Warden Hazan.
"The Longest Yard" is a very good remake in contrast to the 1974 original. Though not the greatest football movie, it still holds that football feel to it & is a good movie to view sometime. I recommend this purchase.

I have purchased so very many books, DVD's, and CD's through Amazon, and this is, unfortunately, only one of a FEW that actually is what it was purported to be....NOT A COPY.
Thank you.

Not the Burt Reynolds version
Added 10/1/2008
Let it be known that I would be one of the first to stand up against all the Hollywood remakes. This is actually the first time I've wanted to see a remake, and I caught it the weekend it came out. And I must say, I was entertained the whole time. I think if you look at this movie as a football comedy, and not try to compare it to the Burt Reynolds version, you'll enjoy it. I think a lot of people are turned off by this movie for that reason, and because they see this as being nothing more than "The Waterboy Pt. 2". But it's not, despite the cameo by Rob Schneider (sp?), which honestly, I could've done without. The characters could've been a little more developed...I mean, why should we root for the "Mean Machine", other than the fact that the guards were really corrupt? With no character development, it just seemed like we were rooting for the lesser of two evils. The library racism scene w/Nelly was a nice start, but there could've been a few more scenes like that. Like I said, it's a pretty entertaining movie, once you realize that 1) it's not the Burt Reynolds version, and 2) it's not trying to be. If you're a football fan, you'll like this movie. The game will probably get you energized, especially the last moments of the game. I usually don't like a bunch of gratuitous split-screens and camera shots, but for a movie like this, it works (in this case, it almost seems like a homage to the original).
