The Longest Yard Ratings & Reviews
Zap2it.com
Daniel Fienberg
Glossy where the original was gritty and raw, silly where the original was scabrous, cartoonish where the original was dangerous and threatening, it aims only to be a lark.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
Segal's version is no sports-film watershed, either, but it is consistently entertaining, athletically brutal, and, more often than not, well-acted.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
So I'm sure it will come as a surprise when I say the star's latest is a fun, amusing and pretty darn funny (if ultimately not entirely successful) comedy.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
A Division III imitation of the original.
Village Voice
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.
Washington Post
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.
Washington Post
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.
USA Today
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.
Slate
David Edelstein
What was already a raucous put-on, a goof on Aldrich's brutal action movies, is now a hyperbolic, gross-out cartoon, with a cast of enormous ex-football stars only adding to the air of facetiousness.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
It's indifferent, charisma-free filmmaking.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
An odd mix of amusing nonsense and nastiness that chugs along, hit and miss, until the last section, which is the best part of the movie and its real reason for being: the game.
New York Daily News
Jami Bernard
A misguided, miscast remake of the 1974 Robert Aldrich classic.
Houston Chronicle
Amy Biancolli
A serviceable bone-cruncher of a sports comedy, just tough enough and funny enough to reach the end zone.
Detroit News
Tom Long
Good old-fashioned fun from kickoff to the last crossing of the goal line.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
The new version is not nearly as convincing or as credible as the old.
Denver Post
Michael Booth
See it if you think Adam Sandler is Joe Montana. See it if you like men in team-issued tight pants. See it if you like men in prison-issue tight pants.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
It's surprising how much of the movie is flat and how predictable the gags are.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The Longest Yard more or less achieves what most of the people attending it will expect.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
The characters sound like they were dreamed up during the drive to the set.
