Adam Sandlar stars in an inserting role as a confused ex-football pro whose life gets turned upside down after he is arrested and sentenced to prison for drinking and driving with a vehicle he stole from his girlfriend. The first 15 minutes Adam Sandlar stars in an inserting role as a confused ex-football pro whose life gets turned upside down after he is arrested and sentenced to prison for drinking and driving with a vehicle he stole from his girlfriend. The first 15 minutes of the film are boring and leave the viewer indifferent. The jokes become more and more ridiculous as the plot unravels in a federal state prison. Sandlar continues to drain out his performance as a boring, heartless man while James Cromwell, Burt Reynolds, and Chris Rock essentially convey grand performances as very interesting and at times hilarious people. Seeing Sandlar… Expand

Very funny. Although the faces may look familiar, it's not quite a typical Adam Sandler movie like Little Nicky or Billy Madison. It has it's good jokes, it's cheap jokes, it's solemn moments, it's tense moments, and Very funny.

It has it's good jokes, it's cheap jokes, it's solemn moments, it's tense moments, and protagonist has a nice "likable" feel to them. I've never seen the original, so I won't compare. But either way, I reccomend this movie.… Expand

First of all for all haters out there ya'll need to stop because the actors on the longest yard did they thang. They were very funny and they worked extra hard too.

Adam Sandler and Chris Rock use their own expertise in comedy to inject a fair few laughs into this amusing (and, at one point, sad) flick. It will appeal to footballers and comedy-lovers alike.

A very surprising comedy with darker tones than other Adam Sandler and Happy Madison movies, and honestly I didn't mind, although one or two of the more dramatic moments feel out of place or poorly handled, it's still a fantastic movie, AdamA very surprising comedy with darker tones than other Adam Sandler and Happy Madison movies, and honestly I didn't mind, although one or two of the more dramatic moments feel out of place or poorly handled, it's still a fantastic movie, Adam Sandler gave an amazing performance, and the whole thing kept me hooked until the end, and in my opinion this is a must see.… Expand

It was a ok movie. I'm not to fond of the remakes, some movies just need to be left alone. This remake wasn't to bad, it keep almost to the original storyline,which make it worth watching.

People who are part of the Happy Madison audience will get exactly what they are expecting from an Adam Sandler comedy. Juvenile humor, product placements, and sports jokes.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Longest Yard was the second best movie I've seen that starred Adam Sandler (first being Happy Gilmore), and I'm surprised that Burt Reynolds wanted to star in the film, because his character had to get rammed by one of the guards. Sure they used effects, but still, he's pretty old now.… Expand

I'm not a huge football fan, but I love a good football comedy. The Longest Yard is as good as any. I never watched the original film but I think its cool to bring back Burt Reynolds who was the star of the original movie from 1974. ThisI'm not a huge football fan, but I love a good football comedy. The Longest Yard is as good as any. I never watched the original film but I think its cool to bring back Burt Reynolds who was the star of the original movie from 1974. This movie features Adam Sandler who was at the top of his game as an actor and producer and some of his common collaborators like Chris Rock ( who may be the best character in the film) and Terry Crews as the hilarious Cheeseburger Eddie. The Longest Yard has an outstanding cast overall with several funny characters and despite its clichés it still manages to be as strong of a sport comedy as they come. This film has made the rounds on cable television numerous times after 10 years and if you've never seen it tune in sometime.… Expand

A rapper, Nelly, professional wrestlers Bill Goldberg, Bob Sapp, Dalip Singh (The Great Khali), and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, and NFL stars Michael Irvin, Terry Crews, and Brian Bosworth, are the heart of The Longest Yard.

Is a real masterpiece. Obviously not the best storyline but I love how they could make jokes without restriction, you can´t find any movie nowadays like this. It makes you laugh and pray for a sequel
