Adam Carolla's 'The Hammer' Is a Hilarious Sports Comedy With a Heart
Aug 28, 2008 – 6:29 AM
Loyal readers will remember that a few months ago, I expressed my skepticism about the new Adam Carolla boxing movie, The Hammer, which I hadn't seen at the time.
Well, now I've seen it on DVD, and I must confess that I was wrong. It's hilarious and surprisingly touching, and Carolla, the writer, producer and star, doesn't just know boxing but knows how to present boxing on film. I liked it a lot.
The plot -- washed up guy gets one last chance in the ring and in romance -- isn't exactly original, but the dialogue is, and the acting is first rate. I like Carolla as a boxer, and I like him as a leading man.
