Rating: 9/10 (20 September 2005)

I'd agree. Critics all over the board panned this film and it nearly tripled the box office earning of the critically lauded "Cinderella Man", which only seemed to get the attention of movie critics. It's almost unfair to compare movies to the original, because if they tried to do a remake, I'm willing to bet many of the complainers would gripe about how it's too much like the original and contains no authenticity of its own. This featured a couple SNL veterans who helped make the show a hot ticket back in the early 90's, and certainly gave us a reason to laugh our butts off in a summer season that sank. Yeah, it won't win any Academy Awards, but I don't think I've seen this many sports celebrity cameos in quite some time, with 2 former NFL players and 4 ESPN journalists.
