Longest Yard, The

This remake is an Adam Sandler party and feels a lot "cleaner" than the Burt Reynolds classic, even though there were more cusswords this time around (but the Sandler cusswords were more like "damn" and that "b-word," whereas Reynolds was letting the "f-word" fly around everywhere. And let’s face it, the "f-word" is a tad more "obscene" than others). It was interesting to see the parallels as well as the deviations from the original script. The football action was cool (i.e. there was lots of instense hitting), and the original story line was faithfully updated with new and believable characters. [Paramount] DV
