"The Longest Yard" is the story of pro quarterback Paul Crewe (Sandler) and former college champion and coach Nate Scarboro (Reynolds), who are doing time in the same prison. Asked to put together a team of inmates to take on the guards, Crewe enlists the help of Scarboro to coach the inmates to victory in a football game "fixed" to turn out quite another way.

MOVIE REVIEWS BY CRITICS

“..a mindless piece of entertainment that actually entertains..”
by Ron Henriques [Latino Review]
“.."The Longest Yard" is technically the better movie, and it, too, goes for laughs...”
by Jami Bernard [New York Daily News]
“..a serviceable bone-cruncher of a sports comedy, just tough enough and funny enough to reach the end zone...”
by Amy Biancolli [Houston Chronicle]
