Grudge Match

Grudge Match
Movie Poster

There are some great movies about boxing, Raging Bull and Rocky are amongst them and they are both timeless. while the Rocky franchise went on for too long and cheapened some good films Raging Bull set the bar for boxing films and others have tried hard to replicate it and failed. They were both products of the late 70's early 80's and this comedy film sets out to place the two stars in a Grudge Match 30 years on. 

This film is never going to be on the oscars short list thats for sure but if like me you went to the rental store and rented the two boxing films mentioned then you'll appreciate this parody of them. While its hard to believe that the characters are the mortal enemies they're meant to be as it seems more like two old friends reuniting for shits and giggles with the back drop of a boxing movie it is fun to watch and light hearted. where you'd think twice to let your teenage son watch Raging Bull you'd buy this for them on DVD to keep them quiet for two hours.
