Movie Review: If the cover isn't eye candy enough...
Summary: 5 Stars
I thought this was an average, kind of boring flick when I first watched it and placed the dvd back on my shelf to collect dust along with Semi Pro and other bad purchases I've made in the past. Then all of a sudden I get an itch to watch it again because I didn't give it a fair viewing the first time thinking the Ace-Man was in it, it was going to be non-stop joke after rant after joke film like his radio show. It's just a comfortable movie to watch anytime of the day and found myself laughing harder the 4th, 5th, and 6th time I watched it especially the affirmative action line at the end of the movie should be in the top 5 movie quotes of all time. Oh and they actually comment during the commentary instead of other movies where the actors sit there and admire themselves giving no insight at all. What I'm trying to say is just see the movieMovie Review: Dear online movie review diary...

Dear online movie review diary,
Went to San Diego opening weekend to see a movie starring the Aceman, Adam Carollla. Wait, only two 'L's in Carolla.
Delete! Delete.
My two regrets about the movie are that I only saw it once, and that my hero Tom Brady isn't in it. As it is, it is only the funniest, wittiest, and best movie of the year, be it independent or studio-driven. If you doubled down and added some Brady, it is the perfect film, bar none.
Don't make the same mistake I did, online movie review readers. Buy two copies of the DVD so you can see it twice. It is that funny. Then send one copy each to the Aceman and Tom Brady, asking that they sign and return. When you don't get either copy back, buy another copy for future enjoyment.
P.S. - G.S. Go Sox!
Movie Review: An independent film that I actually enjoyed.
Summary: 5 Stars
Adam Carolla is possibly the last man I expect to make a funny, family-oriented independent comedy. But boy did he do a good job.
The plot is remarkably simple, so I won't spoil it by mentioning it here. The strength of the movie is the simplicity of the message and how genuinely it was conveyed. The cast did a wonderful job, and Adam's humor turns the most mundane scenes into the highlights of the movie.
Some will dismiss Adam Carolla as a racist and thereby assuming everything he did was racist. There was a few lines of racial slur and stereotypes, but the movie is filled with sincere inter-racial friendship, and any rational person would be able to see that Adam Carolla uses race as a topic of harmless humor.
Get it. You won't regret it.
Movie Review: Great indie film
Summary: 5 Stars
Adam Carolla is best doing organic comedy-- improvised material. He's a radio veteran and is great "on-the-spot." His acting isn't great, and most jokes are delivered dead-pan. He gets a lot more vocally animated on Loveline and his podcast. But I can look past his acting in The Hammer.
It's a great sports comedy. Clever film, and heart-warming. A bit of a love story, too, so fine for watching with females. If you don't NEED big explosions and huge crane shots and Hollywood actors in your films, you should watch The Hammer.
It took a butt-load of work for Carolla to make this movie. The industry likes to label him as simply a radio and TV personality. Support him and check it out.
This is a FUNNY movie!
Movie Review: Forgotten and good
Summary: 5 Stars
I watched this movie a good 3 weeks ago. I bought it because of reviews and word of mouth and the people that called into Carolla's radio show. I was able to wrangle a lot of my friends into watching it: Two girls that weren't into boxing; My friend who does a little boxing; and my best friend. All of us liked the movie and its hard to get us all to agree on anything.
It's 3 weeks later and I still remember some good scenes! It was very entertaining and insightful despite the negative connotations the former co-host of The Man Show might have on this movie. The Man Show was high brow humor about a low brow subject. With The Hammer, you get high brow comedy about a former boxer coming of age. You will leave this movie feeling good.
