Disgraced pro football quarterback Paul Crewe (Adam Sandler) lands in jail, where manipulative Warden Hazen (James Cromwell) recruits him to advise the institution's team. This turns into a lead role quarterbacking a crew of inmates in a game against a team of prison guards. Aided by incarcerated ex-NFL coach Nate Scarborough (Burt Reynolds), Crewe and his team must overcome not only the bloodthirstiness of the opposition, but also the corrupt officials trying to fix the game against them.

Critics Consensus

This Yard has some laughs, but missing from this remake is the edginess of the original.

Time Out

Jun 24, 2006

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.

2/5

Homophobia, sexism, racism, ageism and OJ-ism pound against genre clich (C)s as weathered as Reynolds' skin, bludgeoning you into submission.

2/5

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.

Populated by one-note stereotypes and reliant on one-dimensional action.

Won't win any awards but it's another growth film for Sandler.

2/5

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.

I can't believe any of this was approved. Horrible jokes and stereotypes used in the name of comedy. At least I think this was trying to be a comedy.

Apesar de ser completamente inferior a su Clásico ,Este remake es bastate reconfortante apesar de utilizar comedia barata este film es bastante agradable, logras una conexión interesante con sus personajes este film es una pausa a la basura que normalmente Adam sandler acostumbra a darnos.
