Uninteresting story of a Champion

Rating: 4/10 (8 June 2018)

The Fighter seems more about Dicky and his antics rather than his brother Micky, the Champion. The band of idiots surrounding Micky, including his mother, Dicky and several sisters are uninteresting, unlovable and not even funny characters. In the absence of a serious plot, we're left to watch the unintelligent, unrefined, boring life of these dysfunctional people all of whom act like in a Jerry Springer show. After about 2 hrs, the movie ends with the usual climax of a sports flick and everything is forgotten.
