Critics consensus

“This Yard has some laughs, but missing from this remake is the edginess of the original.”

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.

Homophobia, sexism, racism, ageism and OJ-ism pound against genre clich (C)s as weathered as Reynolds' skin, bludgeoning you into submission.

Adam Sandler, of course, is no Burt Reynolds. But then neither is Burt Reynolds these days, judging by his performance as the team's crusty mentor.

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