The Longest Yard

Adam Sandler teams up with Chris Rock to remake Burt Reynolds' The Longest Yard, a movie about prison football between inmates and guards. Reynolds is also in the movie, as is James Cromwell and a bunch of football, wrestling and music superstars, including Nelly who somehow got his name in the poster "...and Nelly".
The cast looks laughable for a movie, but the end result is a very fun and funny movie with excellent music, that doesn't take itself too seriously and so ends up forgettable but entertaining.

Sandler plays Paul Crewe, a former football superstar back in the day who ends up in jail after a hilarious drunk driving episode. It turns out Warden Hazen (Cromwell) actually made Paul go to his jail in Texas so he could use him. How? By making Paul assemble a group of inmates to play in a big game against the guards' team of the Warden, led by William Fichtner's Captain Knauer.
After a messy start in the jail, Paul gets the help of the Caretaker (Rock), who can't play, but knows everything about everybody, how to access everything, and he can even get them anything they want. A running joke about the inmates eating McDonald's whenever they want comes to mind and is just one of many product placements that work very good in the movie.
Paul then enlists former football legend Nate Scarborough (Reynolds), and together they train everyone who wants to play, but with no so good results, so they have the brilliant idea of asking the basketball players, and after some work they draft fast man Earl Megget (Nelly) and a couple more guys.
The guards also have good and big players, and so between both teams we get characters player by big guys like NFL Superstars Michael Irvin from the Cowboys and Bill Romanowski from the Raiders, Bob Sapp (Elektra's Stone), Terry Crews and WWF/WWE Superstars Goldberg and Steve "Stone Cold" Austin to name a few.
Cloris Leachman has a funny little role as the Warden's secretary and Tracy Morgan steals the show as Ms. Tucker the lead cheerleader (yes, he's the lead and there are more, many more).

Sandler hatters don't need t worry, his baby cry is only there in just one scene, and then he talks like a normal human being for the rest of the movie. And he's actually really good here, being in almost all the scenes. Chris Rock got his name up in there with Sandler, but he plays a very supporting and only for laughs character in Caretaker. He's very necessary for the story to work though.

Like I mentioned before, just like the original, this movie is not destined to become any kind of classic, nobody will remember it in a year or anything, but for now, The Longest Yard is one of the most entertaining and funniest movies of the year.
