Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. You are out! Exactly. This movie stunk. It should of been counted out at the opening credits. Boring, stupid, and boring interactions between the three main characters. Gay bashing that never ended. No sparks between any of the stars. They were all flat, dull, boring, and lifeless. With the exception of a hot red dress, there is nothing of any interest to recall here. If you want to see boxing classics, rent The Set-Up, Body and Soul, or Fat City. If you're looking for comedy boxing, The Kid From Brookyln with Danny Kay is a great bet. As for Play It To The Bon, count to ten and forget about it!

If you like Woody, Tom, Antonio or Lucy, and like comedies, this movie is worth the watch. It was not in Oscar contention, by any stretch, but then again, neither are many good movies. This is one of those movies that is perfect on a Sunday afternoon, when you just want to be entertained by someone else's life. The pancake scene is just plain funny. The characters are believable, and you find yourself sometimes relating their actions to people you may have known personally. Having been around boxers a lot growing up, this movie has enough realism from that world to be believable.All in all, it's a generally funny movie, and a feel good buddy road flick.

Quite Possible the Stupidest Boxing Movie of all times. Have no Idea what the Point Was. I did not find it remotely clever, funny, poignant, or hell ANYTHING. I Am basically really tired of your basic "Humpage" scenes. And I think it might have been more clever if they had Jesus Topless in the final Scenes instead of the ring girls. This was something Like "Rocky IV meets Fear of Loathing in Las Vegas"I must say this Surprised being such a terrible film, because there were some good Actors in this Film, and Ron Shelton has done some decent things in the past. I think what happened was one morning Lolita Davidovich (Rons wife in real life) woke up one morning and told him, Honey, write and direct a movie for me in which my character is totally dis functional moron that the audience will hate throughout the entire film.In the words of Antonio Banderas in this film...And this picture is almost enough to make "go queer for a year"Oh Yeah, It might have been a nice touch to see the Ref Nude to....or perhaps George Forman or LampleyWhat a waste of good energy, Money, and My time.

All in all, this is an okay film. The plot is very simple, and the characters are fairly interesting. I understand that this movie is supposed to be about second chances, but I couldn't help but think after the movie's very predictable ending, what the hell was the point of the movie? What was the epiphany reached, and what was the point of characters like Lucy Liu being in the story? 90% of the film is spent during the car ride to Vegas, which is good and bad, it gives a personal touch to a movie, yet does get kind of old after a while. I like Woody Harelson's character b\c I can relate to him in a lot of respects. One thing I found unrealistic, no chick would ever ditch Antonio 'de sexy' Banderas, I almost laughed when she 'broke up' with him. Antonio also looked a little weak for a boxer, but the fight scene in the end was not effected by it. The end is actually the best part of the movie, yet it is very predictable. Overall, not a bad friday night movie if you have some time to kill and a few beers to pounce. 6/10
