Everyone involved with this remake claims the utmost respect for Robert Aldrich's raucously funny 1974 original. So you have to wonder why they crapped all over it, starting with the casting.
Richard Roeper
A Division III imitation of the original.
Ed Halter
No uplifting populism here.
Andrew O'Hehir
People will go see The Longest Yard for all sorts of reasons -- its lively humor, the current of violence that's just under the surface, its message of underdog racial reconciliation, or the fact that there's no actual football to watch on TV.
Michael O'Sullivan
The pleasure is entirely like eating cake made from cake mix. It's not like you don't know how it's going to turn out, or how it tasted the last time you ate it.
Ann Hornaday
Whether it's the sight of Reynolds squeezed painfully into a football uniform or the endless footballs-to-the-crotch and tired gay jokes, The Longest Yard has the feeling of mutton dressed as lamb.

Mike Clark
Though there's no drearier trend in current movies than recycling, this modified Yard is more smoothly crafted than the 1974 slapstick version.
Good cast but... The cast in this remake tries to do justice to this film but it falls far short of the original, starring Reynolds. As much as I like Sandler he just doesn't come across as an NFL QB. I really wish that Hollywood would learn from these weak remakes and come up with more original ideas.

Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy
Comedy
4
There was a time before cable when the local anchorman reigned supreme....Enter the hard-hitting world of the 1970s local TV news, where Ron Burgundy (Will Ferrell) and his loyal Channel 3 New Team are San Diego's #1 rated news source. All is well in their male-dominated world of news until beautiful, rising-star reporter Veronica Corningstone turns it all upside down. Sparks don't just fly, they ignite an all-out war between the two perfectly coiffed anchorpersons. In a job where it pays to keep a straight face, Anchorman is the comedy that makes it almost impossible to stop laughing.

Johnny Knoxville reprises his Jackass role as 86-year-old Irving Zisman in the story of a crotchety old man unexpectedly saddled with the care of his 8-year-old grandson Billy (Jackson Nicoll). The two generations of troublemakers soon develop a bond, as they hustle their way across the heartland of America on an outrageous road trip with a whole lot of high jinks and pranks on unsuspecting, real-life people—all of whom had no idea they were starring in a "truly shocking"* hidden camera comedy. *Fred Topel, CRAVEONLINE.com
Bend It Like Beckham
Comedy

A kaleidoscope of color and culture clash humorously as an Indian family in London tries to raise their soccer-playing daughter in a traditional way. Unlike tarty elder sister Pinky, who is preparing for an Indian wedding and a lifetime of cooking the perfect chapatti, Jess' dream is to play soccer professionally like her hero David Beckham. Wholeheartedly against Jess' unorthodox ambition, her parents eventually reveal that their reservations have more to do with protecting her than with holding her back. When Jess is forced to make a choice between tradition and her beloved sport, her family must decide whether to let her chase her dream...and a soccer ball.

Does a screaming engine send chills up your spine? Are you looking for more action and more throttle? Well look no further! We spent an entire year traveling all over the Southeast filming the wildest show in off-road motor-sports. We followed some the most well known drivers in the sport including Time Cameron, Wes Kean, the Tanners, Brian Cole and many more. The film was shot on location at some of the best Off-Road Parks in the South. These include Gray Rock, Morris Moutain, Crusher Ridge, River Rock & Choccolocco ORV. This isn't rock-crawling as it is known out West. This is Southern Style Wheeling. Rock Bouncing is the term used for this full throttle, high speed style of wheeling that has become more and more popular over the years. These are not your typical rock-crawling rigs either these are RockRods. These full tube creations are built to handle the abuse with insane motors, built axles, huge tires, and drivers that refuse to quit. Their make it or break it attitude brings crowds of people to events every weekend.
