Tagline: It was hard to put a team together... until they found out who they were playing.
Plot: The story of a former pro quarterback trying to make good in the toughest possible situation. When former NFL player Paul Crewe (Adam Sandler) is sent to prison, the warden forces him to transform a diverse group of inmates into a football team. Unlikely teammates, the convicts unite when they find out who they are playing: the guards. With the help of fellow inmates Nate Scarborough (Burt Reynolds) and Caretaker (Chris Rock), Crewe promises the cons a chance to exact revenge in a bone-crushing showdown where anything goes. The Mean Machine returns to the gridiron in this new take on the 1974

...Indeed after my immersion in the films of Cannes, I can hardly bring myself to return to "The Longest Yard" at all, since it represents such a limited idea of what a movie can be and what movies are for.  --Roger Ebert (Chicago Sun-Times)
Yard has its share of pigskin thrills and Sandler silliness, but ultimately serves as another example of a remake that fails to score.  --Tyler Hanley
...seems to be one of those Sandler efforts that occupy a middle ground between goofy comedy and quasi-realistic drama. C+--Robert Denerstein
This is the kind of very generic and stupid comedy that could’ve opened in the dumping ground of early spring with any other comedians out there; it’s lucky to open in summer when moviegoers will definitely see it. C--Lee Tistaert (Lee's Movie Info)
"The Longest Yard" remake offers nothing over the original. It's just another bit of Hollywood recycling for a new market. C,C--Robin and Laura Clifford
...Had "The Longest Yard" been either a little dumber or a little smarter, it might have overcome its underdeveloped game plan and underwritten lead character. But Adam Sandler (also the film's producer) and Peter Segal fumbled the ball. --Rob Blackwelder
There are a few humorous moments in this film and the classic lines are still there...  --Brian Milinsky (Tailslate.net)
... is a silly, unrealistic, yet comfortably entertaining movie. 7.5/10--Brendan Cullin (EmpireMovies.com)
The vacuous filmmakers add five or six gay cheerleaders for the cons. These scenes are not funny, so they fit in well with the rest of the film, which flunks both the watch test and the laugh test. 5/10--Tony Medley (TonyMedley.com)
