Rating: 9/10 (29 December 2013)

What a wonderful comedy. This is the type of comedy that makes you want to go to the movies with friends and family. It is not today's comedy (or the interpretation of comedy)where every other word is the f-bomb because to66day's screenwriters are ignorant and unimaginable.
This movie will remind you of "Grumpy Old Men". Instead of competing for the girl, they are rival boxers. Alan Arkin jumps into the type of role that Burgess Meredith made famous in GOM and he is a delight. While his comments are sexual in nature, they never cross the line to the Will Farrell/Seth Rogan trash that is out there today.
Stallone and DeNiro are both wonderful in their roles and you can tell that both of them are enjoying this project. That enjoyment reflects to the audience and you feel for both men and their plights.
The whole family went to this film for the holidays: niece (14), her cousin (22), my sister (44), mother (66) and aunt (70). Each generation was represented and every single one of them enjoyed this movie.
