Now THAT'S what I call a comedy!

This evening, I went to Cineleisure to catch Adam Sandler's "The Longest Yard" with my friend. My friend promised me that it would be a proper comedy (after "The Cave" , I get skeptical).

Nice movie^^. Adam Sandler does it again, amidst fun and laughs (which do not merely consist of the slapstick or porno variety), he manages to inject food for thought.

I'll leave details out, Adam Sandler plays a down and out football star (Paul Crewe). For you non Yanks out there... This means the NFL, the football played with HANDS, ARMOR and HELMETS. He gets called on stealing his girlfriend's car and thus gets thrown into jail.

The warden of Allenville Penitentiary pulls strings to get Crewe over so that Crewe may help train the Allenville Penitentiary Football Team which consists of the guards. Anyways, to make a long story short, Crewe has the honour of picking a team out of all sorts of mismatched convicts so as to put together a team to play off with the guards for a tune up match.

This movie is about the adventure of training this motley crew in time for the match and for the meaning and belonging he finds at the end of the whole fiasco.

Here ends my crappy intro.
