DVD Reviews of The Hammer

DVD Review: Great Movie
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a great movie. It has action, romance, humor, likeable characters and one of the best endings I've ever seen. This movie is a must see if you like boxing, but even if you don't it's the kind of movie anyone can enjoy. Highly recommended.

DVD Review: The Hammer, Adam Carolla
Summary: 5 Stars

My husband and I went and saw it at the Theater and loved it, so I bought him the DVD. I removed the jacket and sent it to Adam Carolla at his radio station and with a SASE he autographed it and sent it back. Now I have a GREAT stocking stuffer for my husband. VERY COOL! Thanks Adam!

DVD Review: Not as good as advertised
Summary: 2 Stars

Adam Corolla really hyped this movie during his appearance on the Bill Simmons podcast on ESPN.com. I also see that many reviewers seem to have loved this movie. But I don't really get it. I'm a big Corolla fan and some of his subtle/dry humour is hilarous during this movie, but overall this is a below-average (and unoriginal) Hollywood filem.

DVD Review: Great movie for couples
Summary: 4 Stars

So here comes a little movie from the guy who used to host "The Man Show," and is now one of the hottest morning show personalities on the west coast. This movie was much better than I had expected, and I'm a self described fan of Adam Carolla's work. This is a movie that is filled with heart and comedy. A surprisingly engaging romance along with some laugh out loud moments make this one movie that will leave you smiling from start to finish. I recommend it, if even for the fact of rewarding Carolla for taking a risk and creating something that can be genuinely enjoyable for guys and girls alike.

DVD Review: Love Adam, doubted the movie... then I loved it when I watched it
Summary: 5 Stars

Adam Carolla is my favorite radio personality. If you don't get his show on the radio in your home town, then go find a webcast or podcast of it. Its well worth checking out.

This movie had me laughing all the way through. His attitude and comedic style rang right through his character just like it does on his show every morning. Thanks, Adam, for keeping it real.

I'm ordering my own copy right now. I hope you finally made some money off of this movie.

Description of The Hammer

When a former amateur boxer (Adam Carolla) loses his construction job, he gets a second chance at his dream when he is invited to try out for the U.S. Olympic Team.

No, The Hammer is not the Fred Williamson story, but a surprisingly satisfying underdog sports movie and date movie; an unlikely genre combination, but The Hammer nails it. Adam Carolla, former co-host of The Man Show, stars as underachiever Jerry, just turned 40. A former Golden Gloves boxer (as was Carolla), he works as a construction worker/handyman and also teaches the sweet science at the local gym. You know the drill: Jerry gets fired after running afoul of his abusive boss; Jerry loses fed-up girlfriend; Jerry meets Lindsay (Heather Jurgensen), an idealistic public defender; Jerry impresses a coach and gets the chance to try out for the Olympic boxing team. But a deft touch makes The Hammer a contender. This is Carolla's first bout with leading man status, and, happily, he has the director of the "I Kissed a Girl" arthouse hit, Kissing Jessica Stein in his corner. The script makes effective use of Carolla's unpretentious screen presence, giving him ample opportunity to punch out some droll comic riffs while he pursues his second chance in the ring as well as Lindsay. Add to the mix a grudging friendship he develops with a cocky boxer whom the coach is grooming. The Hammer may not technically be a knockout, but it does go the distance. --Donald Liebenson
