Reviews


75
TV Guide Magazine - Maitland McDonagh
It's genuinely funny, oddly romantic and surprisingly engaging for what could easily have been an obnoxious vanity project.

New York Daily News - Unnamed
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.
63
New York Post - Kyle Smith
The script depends heavily on familiar stand-up comedy bits, but it's full of sharp wisecracks and slacker charm.
60
Variety - Ronnie Scheib
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.
60
The Hollywood Reporter - Unnamed
The film hardly could be credited with breaking any new ground, but it has a hangdog charm, much like its leading actor.
