It looks like this film can go the full ten yards.
It seems that The
Longest Yard is not going to as bad as I thought, or even
remotely bad for that matter. According to early screening reports, The
Longest Yard is dang good.
Early Longest Yard Review
There have been a lot of early screenings for The Longest Yard,
starring Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, and Burt Reynolds. While some execs were
about early screening tests, this doesn't seem to be the case for The
Longest Yard. There have already been a bunch of early reviews and
buzz, and all look at the film positively.
The latest early review was sent over to AintitCool. Here are some snippets as follows [below]:
I'm here to tell you, America is about to fall
head-over-heels in love with a bunch of hardened convicts. I not only cared
about each and every member of the Mean Machine team, I grew to love, appreciate
and root for them all in under an hour and forty five minutes time. They're
characters that you see for the first time yet feel like old friends. And
not because it's a remake. Memorable, seriously qoute worthy types. Especially,
Cheeseburger Eddie. You can probably guess what he's all about. There is
such a warmth generated by the team's camaraderie it's absolutely contagious.
The casting of each of these roles is dead on. Nelly and ex-football player
Michael Irvin concerned me before seeing it. I assumed their lack of acting
experience might hurt the movie. Man, was I wrong. They both fill their
characters with heart, likability, humor. Megget and Moss are the definition
of cool and really fun to watch. In the summer tons of kids playing football
will be fighting over who gets to be Megget and who gets to be Moss. Paramount
give your entire casting department a bonus this year. They deserve it....
