At first look, did not want anything to do with it. Not going to win any awards but it was very enjoyable, especially Tracy Morgan.
I HAVE ALREADY SEEN THIS, ACTUALLY THE 1ST ONE NOT QUITE THE
SAME BEGINNING, BUT THE SAME ENDING!! HOWEVER UNFORTUNATE IT MAY BE I DO LIKE ADAM, BURT, AND THE REST
Critic Reviews
What was already a raucous put-on, a goof on Aldrich's brutal action movies, is now a hyperbolic, gross-out cartoon, with a cast of enormous ex-football stars only adding to the air of facetiousness.full review
It's indifferent, charisma-free filmmaking.full review
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.full review
A serviceable bone-cruncher of a sports comedy, just tough enough and funny enough to reach the end zone.full review
The Longest Yard more or less achieves what most of the people attending it will expect.full review
The characters sound like they were dreamed up during the drive to the set.full review
The film primarily replaces its predecessor's gritty swagger with WWE and MTV-esque posturing.full review
