The Longest Yard (2005)

Ok, watched The Longest Yard (2005) last night. Sigh! It’s an ok movie, some humorous scenes and I do like Adam Sandler. They managed to get some HUGE actors (football players, Pro wrestlers, etc.) to play roles as guards and convicts. But, the movie lacked the passion of the original. The namesake scene was no different than any other. Burt Reynolds is in the movie but his last face lift has left his face so tight he now has horizontal folds under his eyes and his skin looks a little plastic-y. It makes him look like he was in a fire. I would rate the movie RENTAL.

I suppose I should mention my movie rating scheme.

FULL PRICE: Yep, this movie is good enough to pay the $10 plus popcorn to see.
MATINEE: Sneak in on Saturday and catch it when the price isn’t so much.
RENTAL: Wait for it until it comes out on DVD.
5 FRIEND RENTAL: To get your money’s worth, have friends pitch in.
TV: Don’t pay for it, you’ll only get mad.
LE BAD CINEMA: So bad it’s good.
