“The Longest Yard” is a very well put together movie. “The Longest Yard” is about a college quarterback, played by Adam Sandler, who is old and dried up, gets arrested for driving under the influence and evading police. He is put behind bars in West Texas Federal Prison and charged. While in prison the warden has the idea to start a guards vs prisoners football game. Adam draws his team together and starts practicing. They’re all a little too physical and don’t yet understand the rules. After a while there’s a glimmer of hope and they start to practice well. Game time comes up and everybody invites their family for.The prisoners end up pulling off a 36-35 win with no time left.
I think this movie would be better for high school boys and anybody in the age range 16-40. If you like sports or movies about friendships and action then I would recommend watching this movie. There is also some drama in the movie where people die and trust is broken. The movie will teach you a lot about how to face adversity and not give up. I give “The Longest Yard 7.9 stars out of 10.
