Xplore Dundee - Film


The Longest Yard (12A)
by RS

The film is a comedy starring Adam Sandler, about prison guards and cons going against each other in an American Football match. It is a really funny film. Adam Sandler plays Crewe who is asked when he goes to prison to coach the cons to play against the guards by the warden.

IT was really fun my favourite bit was when the black guy (Switoswki) got his nose broke by big guy because he was acting like a kid. I liked the entire movie I can't pick a bad bit.

The rating of the film was 12A: I think this was too low because all the swearing, etc. 12 year olds will pick up on the attitudes and swearing in the film. I think it should have been an 18. I give the film 5 stars.

The Longest Yard (12A)
by EL

The film stars Adam Sandler as the main character, with supporting actors Chris Rock and Burt Reynolds. My favourite character was not one of the main ones though, it was the part played by Bob Sapp (Switoswki) who is a big black guy who acted like a kid - he reminded me of Shrek.

The film starts with Crewe (Adam Sandler) drink driving and being chased by the police. He ended up crashig his car into the police, so he ended up in prison. In prison he didn't like it and got asked by the warden to get a team together to play against the prison guards. They all entered because they wanted to beat the guards and they were racist. They called them racist words and beat some inmates up. In the end Crewe's team beat the guards, and when Crewe went to get the winning ball the warden ordered that one of the guards shot him as he thought he was trying to escape from the prison.

My favourite scene was when the big guy (Switoswki) who acts like a baby was told by Crewe during the game that the guards had been racist and he beat them up. There is nothing I didn't like about the film.

I think that the 12A rating is too high and that it should be a PG or a 12. I give the film 4 stars.

The Longest Yard (12A)
by KM

The Longest Yard is action/ sad/ comedy starring Adam Sandler. He is a character called Crewe. At the start of the film Crewe locks his wife in a cupboard and then goes drinking in the car. She calls the police and says her car has been stolen. The police start chasing Crewe, and it ends up on T.V Then Crewe goes to jail.

When he gets there he gets asked to start an American football team to play the guards. He starts to look for players in the jail and finds many including the basketball players. Crewe and Nate Scarborough (Burt Reynolds) coach the team. Then Crewe’s friend the caretaker gets killed. The caretaker though before he died ordered team tops, the cons team was called ‘ mean machine’. Crewe’s team was winning by half time so the warden came and asked Crewe to fix the game so the guards win or he would pin the caretakers murder on him. Crewe was going to fix the game but changed his mind and in the end the cons one. At the end of the film the guard who had been giving Crewe a hard time told him that he knew he never had nothing to do with the caretaker’s murder and that he would not let him get the blame.

I think the whole film was really funny and there was good actors in it. The rating of the film is good as a 12A if anything it could be lowered. The UGC cinema was nice and clean but the food was really really expensive. I give the film a rating of 4 stars.

Our House
by RB

My favourite type of film is a chick flick.At the moment my favourite film is OUR HOUSE a comedy starring Ben Stiller (Alex) and Drew Barrymore (Nancy), and an old woman that is about 95 years and she is a tenant of the new lease that the couple have bought over. The terms of the lease state that the couple have to leave the old lady in her granny flat as long as she is alive. The old lady stays upstairs and she tortures them, by playing music and leaving on her loud TV all night so they cant get to sleep.

The reason I like the film is because it is really funny when the old lady plays music all night and keeps everyone awake and she feeds Alex and Nancy out of date food. It is gross when Alex eats crackers that the old lady gives him that are out of date with out of date Crème freche. I think that there are no bad parts of the film and that it is really fun all the time.

The rating of the film is a 12A; I think that this is a good rating as is may not be suitable for younger people. In all I would give the film 5 stars.
