Peter Segal's film, a predictable, choppy affair at best, boasts an understated, likable performance by Sandler, but here we never feel, as we did with the original, invested in the outcome of the final game, or convinced of the redeemability of the movie's sordid protagonist. - Kim Morgan
San Francisco Chronicle 7 of 10
It's an honest remake of the original "The Longest Yard" (1974), in contrast with all the disguised remakes that have popped up in the intervening decades. Before "The Longest Yard," there had been other sports movies, but "LY" was the first to show that the depiction of a game could serve, not just as a movie's climax, but as a lengthy act in itself -- that audiences would gladly sit and watch a fictional game just as they'd watch a real game on television, with the same focus and concentration. Sports movies have capitalized on that discovery ever since. - Mick LaSalle

This afternoon I attended a press conference of the Cannes jury. Its president, Emir Kusturica, said at one point that Cannes "kills uniformity." Its films are made one at a time. "To be global," he said, "to make a film that plays everywhere, you have to be slightly stupid." How do you like that; the bastard went and spoiled "The Longest Yard" for me. - Roger Ebert
