I never saw the Burt Reynolds original, but I liked this one. Was the original a comedy? The Adam Sandler, "The Longest Yard", was hilarious. Coincidently enough, the two funniest football films I'd seen before this one was "Necessary Roughness" and "Waterboy", the latter being an Adam Sandler flick, and the former having Rob Schneider, a regular in Adam Sandler films. Chris Rock and Terry Crews were particularly funny, and Michael Irvin wasn't all bad.
I thought the movie was wonderfully done, and I thought that the cast was chosen well. Like I mentioned, I never saw the original, but I think this was a worthy remake.
