Time Out 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. Jun 24, 2006 Full Review Ian Nathan Empire Magazine Homophobia, sexism, racism, ageism and OJ-ism pound against genre clich (C)s as weathered as Reynolds' skin, bludgeoning you into submission. Rated: 2/5 Sep 9, 2005 Full Review Paul Arendt BBC.com Adam Sandler, of course, is no Burt Reynolds. But then neither is Burt Reynolds these days, judging by his performance as the team's crusty mentor. Rated: 2/5 Sep 6, 2005 Full Review James Croot Stuff.co.nz Populated by one-note stereotypes and reliant on one-dimensional action. Rated: 2.5/5 Feb 2, 2021 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com Won't win any awards but it's another growth film for Sandler. Rated: 2.5/4.0 Sep 14, 2020 Full Review Leigh Paatsch Herald Sun (Australia) This remake of the 1974 sports comedy-drama The Longest Yard is hardly a classic. But then again, neither was the original Burt Reynolds-starring version. Rated: 2/5 Apr 17, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Hailee B Man, this movie has so many jokes and man amazing actors through the whole thing. Not going lie Chris Rock scene in the cell oh my gosh gets me everytime damn time another good ass movie love the football and always a mc double we need lol Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/15/24 Full Review Audience Member Great comedy, seen it a few times and I think it’s a good one to watch when bored. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/30/24 Full Review Romario M It’s a movie you can watch with the family to enjoy a couple of times! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/26/24 Full Review Jayden M The single greatest movie of all time. Comedy? ✅️ drama? ✅️ sports? ✅️ simply amazing Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/30/24 Full Review Ciaran S The Longest Yard has no reason to exist because of 2 reasons, 1. What does American football have to do with being in jail & 2. Why would you cast Hip Hop artists like Nelly & D12 in a Happy Madison film? And also shame on this movie for making a reference to Forest Gump, this isn't just the worst film of Happy Madison Productions it's also a contender for one of the worst of 2005 full stop. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/18/24 Full Review Sanad A I'll start by admitting that I had no interest in this movie at all. I only saw it because I was dragged. Was it as bad as I thought? Not at all. It was way better than I expected. We all know those mindless comedies with barely a plot, cheap dialogue, and jokes galore. I thought this was one of them. I was wrong. This remake had a pretty good storyline and a few laughable jokes and moments. I usually don't laugh out loud at movies, but I did find myself doing so three or four times here. So that takes care of the Funniness Factor. The story is easy to get involved in--you want to see the prisoners kick the guards' butts in football. It is a well-played story and fun to watch. Sandler is not one of my favorite actors, but I have to give him his props because I am starting to see that he usually stars in movies that are at least remotely funny and that have a pretty decent plot. But the main thing is that his characters usually act the same. I would get into the slight lack of character development, but I'm sure you don't care to read about that. You only wish to know if this movie is funny or not and if it's worth watching! Well, yes, the movie has its moments and it's good to watch, especially if you like football or are a Sandler fan. This has its good kicks and it is near a touchdown in the comedy category. So if you want to have a good time and relax to some entertainment, you can watch this one =) Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/28/23 Full Review Read all reviews
