San Francisco Chronicle "The Longest Yard" is no classic, but neither was the original starring Burt Reynolds. Instead, it's 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. Mick LaSalle

Cinema Blend His audience is anyone who loves a little sports mixed in with their violence. There are a few big laughs in The Longest Yard, but not enough to support it as a comedy. Sandler fans looking for another Happy Gilmore will be mildly disappointed by the movie’s cheap prison humor and propensity for tired, watered down rape jokes. On the other hand, football fans looking for a stirring reel full of merciless hits will be delighted. Joshua Tyler

USA Today And though The Longest Yard isn't very deep, neither is it any long ordeal at the multiplex. The new version has the zip of a 96-yard punt return and all the ingredients to inspire the celebratory crushing of empty beer cans. Mike Clark
