Disgraced pro football quarterback Paul Crewe lands in a Texas federal penitentiary, where manipulative Warden Hazen recruits him to advise the institution's football team of prison guards. Crewe suggests a tune-up game which lands him quarterbacking a crew of inmates in a game against the guards. Aided by incarcerated ex-NFL coach and player Nate Scarborough, Crewe and his team must overcome not only the bloodthirstiness of the opposition, but also the corrupt warden trying to fix the game against them.

I love this movie so much
Redundant and unnecessary.
Absolutely Fantastic
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
Such a weird weird movie this one. I was so surprised it was actually a Happy Madison Production as it's so unlike any other movies by them & Adam Sandler. It took me a while to realise but this movie is actually trying to take itself fairly seriously. And so is Sandler. He's actually attempting to play a straight dramatic role. But then they try to throw in the odd bit of typical Happy Madison Adam Sandler humour but it feels forced & flat. The movie can't decide if it's a stupid comedy or a seriously dramatic sports flick. The worst thing about this movie is that they COMPLETELY waste Hollywood Legend Burt Reynolds. He literally is given nothing to do or say even remotely interesting or comedic. He has zero character & zero chemistry with Sandler. If he was supposed to be a sort of Mr Miyagi inspirational mentor type of character, it missed the mark hugely. Eveytim he's onscreen I hoped Burt would have something interesting or funny to say. But nothing. It's a very weirdly under written role for poor Burt. Courtney Cox is totally wasted too. Thankfully Happy Madison & Adam Sandler went back to their usual slapstick humour / formula after this one which was a big relief for their hardcore fans. Recently I watched "Just Go with It" for the first time & it was excellent, a million times better than this tripe.
The title of the film is The Lomgest Yard. It is comedy. It is about prison. It is not a book. The film is seb in USA. The film is ser Modern times. Adam Sandler stars in the film. Adam Sandler plays the main role. Pool Crwe is my Favorit charakter. My family would like this film.
this was my favorite movie of all time, it was really funny, really entertaining, has a great story, it kept me entertained the whole way, I loved watching him recruit the players and put the team together, I like football but watched it with some friends who hate football or know nothing about football and they loved this movie also
Absolutely terrible film based upon the 1974 masterpiece which perverts the story into a pointless Adam Sandler Movie debacle. In comparison to the original, this is a travesty. As a stand alone motion picture, it is an insult to cinema and to all who have made it an art form. This is simply a vanity piece by someone who expended virtually every ounce of his limited talent on SNL years ago. From the Sony hacking event and the exposed studio e-mails we learned that even the bosses and fellow performers wonder why Sandler is still making movies. He has done well in one (Punch Drunk Love, because of Emily Watson) and fair in another, The Wedding Singer (largely due to Drew Barrymore.) This horrendous stinker is simply another addition to the garbage heap where old Sandler films are discarded after raking in money from a mindless movie going public. All his violations of cinema could be forgiven, however, if this man would keep his hands off classic films and not attempt to further corrupt the legacy of great motion pictures left us by the true artistic masters.
