Reviews
|
TV Guide Magazine -
It's genuinely funny, oddly romantic and surprisingly engaging for what could easily have been an obnoxious vanity project.
|
|
New York Daily News -
The Hammer benefits from Carolla's low-energy, low-impact style. He doesn't so much deliver quips as let them dribble out the side of his mouth.

|
New York Post -
The script depends heavily on familiar stand-up comedy bits, but it's full of sharp wisecracks and slacker charm.
|
|
Variety -
This inordinately likable and consistently funny boxing saga-cum-romantic comedy doesn't so much ridicule the "Rocky"-type inspirational sports fable as gently deflate its heroic overdrive.

|
The Hollywood Reporter -
The film hardly could be credited with breaking any new ground, but it has a hangdog charm, much like its leading actor.
