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

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Feb 2, 2021

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

| Original Score: 2.5/4.0 | Sep 14, 2020

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.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 17, 2020

Unlike the original, this version lacks that gritty edge that made it so effective.

Peter Segal ("Anger Management") successfully helms his third Adam Sandler project in this funny modernized retooling of Robert Aldrich's 1974 original .

| Original Score: B | Apr 16, 2009

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 7, 2008

A film we could live without, inspired by an original that was anything but essential.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 29, 2008

Yields the dispiriting insight that Hollywood can't even make credible rabble-rousing junk any more.

| Original Score: C- | Mar 11, 2008

This edition of Yard has a lighter feel than the original -- well, considering it's a movie about prison inmates.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Nov 1, 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.

The new film keeps about 90% of the original story and even some of the original lines of dialogue, yet the changes it makes are all misguided.

| Original Score: 2/4 | May 26, 2006

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 6, 2005

Filme poco pretencioso que no busca otra cosa que no sea entretener. No pasar a la historia, pero por lo menos es mejor de lo que parece.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 26, 2005

The 'dumbing' down of popular media continues.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 10, 2005

Drama that's not dramatic enough and comedy that's not funny enough.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 30, 2005

If you're looking for a predictable, unoriginal, mediocre offering from the good folks over at Happy Madison, rent this puppy...

| Original Score: 4/10 | Sep 30, 2005

A worthy remake and companion piece to the Reynolds film.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 23, 2005

Never have I seen a movie so unashamedly aimed at demographics.

The lesser of two yards.

| Original Score: C | Sep 19, 2005

A fast-moving treat.
