The Longest Yard (28%)

Plot: This shaggy-dog fable barely drew fleas when it arrived in the winter of 1986. Now critics refer to it as a winning, offbeat classic. What took 'em so long? Probably the fact that director Roger Spott...( read more read more... )iswoode (Tomorrow Never Dies) and screenwriter Ron Shelton (Bull Durham) were chasing something very elusive: a cockeyed, scatological look at delayed glory. Robin Williams plays Jack Dundee, a meek bank VP in Taft, California, who daily relives the humiliation of a bobbled pass in the game against Bakersfield. Not content to live out his days as "Butterfingers" Dundee, Jack hits on a plan to "rewrite history" by restaging the Big Game. Taft's now-over-the-hill quarterback, Reno Hightower (Kurt Russell), reluctantly goes along with the harebrained scheme to redeem his buddy. The guys' wives (Holly Palance and Pamela Reed) shake their heads and play along. At once zany, sweet, and nostalgic, this small-town chronicle strives for, and achieves, folk-legend status. "Casey at the Bat" in shoulder pads, anyone? --Glenn Lovell

    Anyone who wishes they could go back and re-live a big high school sporting event will identify with this movie. A classic.

    Just caught this on TV and it reminded me how hilarious it is. A perfect movie to relive the glory days with the right amount of hindsight humor.

    I think that "the best of the periods" was a cause lost to obtain it goes. I hope that this film was not green fire with Shelton launching the history as I wrote in top. A no such chance. Robin Williams and Kurt Russell hold the first role in wire. It is a so lame duck comedy with a lame duck manuscript that one can only shake them to ask for heads what could have been. Neither one nor the other type realizes that they were invited more Monday and, yes, Monday the football of night is lit. Later while Russell starts to undertake the steps on his Williams wife rolls television in their sight of another part.

    A very funny movie, that is extremely unique. Who would have ever thought that Kurt Russell and Robin Williams would ever star in a movie together?

    A classic and very underrated comedy about redemption.Robin Williams and Kurt Russell make a great comedic duo.20 years after dropping the potential game winning pass for Taft High in the big game against Bakersfield,Robin Williams tries to stage a replay.Makes for a very enjoyable film that was overlooked when it first came out,but holds up well as a great sports comedy
