"The Longest Yard" Remake

MorganGrayson · 10-02-2005

Husband and I watched the remake of "The Longest Yard" last night, starring Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, Burt Reynolds and a case of kazillions.

Admittedly, the original has faded way back into my memory. I remember watching it and loving it - but nothing else.

I loved the remake. However, I admit, the reason I loved the remake may be *because* the original has faded in memory. (Usually, remakes of just about anything make me want to shriek extraordinarily bad language.)

Can anyone who either remembers the original more clearly or who has watched both of them recently offer a comment?

I adore football movies. "The Replacements" is one of my favorites, that I intend to see if I can get on DVD soon.

In fact...I pretty much adore all sports movies, even movies about sports that I don't follow.
