Longest Yard - movie review

The most amazing thing about this movie is how comedic geniuses Adam Sandler and Chris Rock were actually outshined here by Nicholas Turturro and Terry Crews, who played Brucie and Cheeseburger Eddy, respectively. These two gentlemen were absolutely hilarious. The cast of this movie was perfect for what it was and the inclusion of Nelly and Michael Irvin did not adversely effect the film. Nothing really was unexpected and the story was nothing that we haven't seen before in sports movie. All in all, it was a really funny movie. It is nice to see Sandler back doing real comedy again.

4 out of 6 beers.
