THE LONGEST YARD


Why you might like it
· It’s respectful of the original.
· Sandler and Rock have good chemistry.
· Sandler, Rock, and Reynolds make a good trio.
· Great, smash-mouth football that looks NFL real.
· Michael Irvin and Nelly are surprisingly good.
· All the other former pro athletes and wrestlers play their parts with the kind of relish that gives a truth to their badass characters.
· Plenty of cool cameos from ESPN regulars, who are obviously having fun just being a part of this movie.

Why you might not like it
· You’re anal about the original
· You don’t like Sandler and/or Rock
· You really don’t like sports movies, especially football movies
· You don’t have a sense of humor?
