After waiting over a year for this movie, I finally saw The Longest Yard on Saturday and it did not disappoint. It was one quick 1 hour and 49 minutes. I don’t think Adam Sandler could ever disappoint me though. I was never worried about the whole living up to the original thing because I only saw the original once and it was quite some time back. I remember I enjoyed it, but even though Burt Reynolds is a pretty cool guy, Adam Sandler might be my favorite actor. And the casting in the remake was fantastic. If you didn’t already know the athletes, you probably couldn’t tell they were athletes from watching the movie. It did help they were playing athletes though. I’m just saying, it was better than getting a bunch of actors to play athletes. And there were tons of wrestlers and they were also a great fit. Every actor was hilarious and Sandler hit a home run again. He’s a great actor and he’s still funny as hell. The sports scenes in this movie were also great. My only quarrel though was that there was too much slow motion in the sports scenes. They coulda cut back on that a little. Can’t wait til this comes out on DVD. One more Adam Sandler movie that I’ll be able to watch over and over again.

I’m currently watching: Comedy Central Presents: Tom Papa
