GRUDGE MATCH  REVIEW

 

Ratings:3/5 Review By: Rajeev Masand Site:Masand’s Verdict ( CNN IBN)

Grudge Match probably wont be remembered in the way that those films are, but its a competent sports comedy in which De Niro, now 70, and Stallone, currently 67, star as longtime boxing rivals who have unfinished business between them. By the time we get to the big bout in the end, youre more or less expecting mawkish sentimentality. But to give director Peter Segal credit, he keeps the cheesiness to a minimum.Im going with three out of five for Grudge Match. Its funny and moving in parts, and two hours fly by quite easily

Two retired boxers are persuaded to get into the ring for one last fight. However, the match-up also opens up some old wounds. The training sequences are sluggish and intentionally funny and indeed much of the film’s humour plays off on their respective ages. But that’s all secondary to the fact that these two once played the legendary characters Rocky Balboa and Jake LaMotta. These veterans still pack in their punches for sure.

Things really start looking up for Grudge Match after the interval and even though it begins to build up to something, it turns predictable soon enough. You can afford to miss this if you aren’t a fan of either of the actors or a fan of boxing. As a long-time Stallone fan, I choose to excuse myself from this wreck because I cannot stand to see a performer I admire so much do something like this. If you must watch it, do it for Alan Arkin, who plays Stallone’s trainer, Lightning. He’s the only one who seems to have put any kind of effort into it.
