I finally got to see the remake of "The Longest Yard". It fell short of the original on almost every count and considering that it was almost a verbatim copy of the original thats saying a lot.

I was disappointed by Adam Sandler's portrayal (probably the only time I can say that of ANY of his movies). It notably lacked Burt Reynolds' "who gives a shit" attitude in the original (but then again, Reynolds portrayal of Nate Scarborough lacked Michael Conrad's wonderful character acting done in the original).

The original had an "edge" which was missing in this new version.
