Critic Reviews
Nothing groundbreaking, but there's an easy charm in the movie.
Read the full reviewWhat you have here, essentially, is a classic "Honeymooners" episode juiced with tropes from the most recent "Rocky" movie.
Read the full reviewRambling and disorganized. At the same time, though, The Hammer also has dry wit and unforced working-class swagger, and hits some surprising emotional notes.
Read the full reviewThis 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.
Read the full reviewThe film hardly could be credited with breaking any new ground, but it has a hangdog charm, much like its leading actor.

Hooray for Independant Film!
"What a refreshing break from the canned out of the box Hollywood standard comedy. Hammer was intelligent, witty and really charming. Carolla's great in his first headliner role. Can't wait to see what he does next."
A definate Must See!
"The comedic give-and-take of this movie kept me laughing almost from the moment the movie started. It was so good, I am going to see it for a second time in two days, and this time I am bringing additional friends to enjoy it! Keep your ears open during this one or you might miss some of the best dialogue. Relax and enjoy!"
Surprisingly Great!
"I am not sure why the critics gave this one a -60-. I thought this movie was a lot better than that. Definitely worth seeing. My girlfriend actually enjoyed it. Great movie."
