Movie Reviews of The Main Event
Movie Review: The Main Event
Summary: 4 Stars
Enjoyed it on the Big screen years ago when it first came out. Sometimes you wish you could watch the movies you loved from the past but they are not available for your personal collection. I always liked the paring of Ryan O'Neal and Barbara Streisand since I first saw them together in "What's Up Doc" Some movies just remind you of a time in your life and gives you a chance to remember when. I'm a fan of the movie.
Summary of The Main Event
An executive awakens one morning to find that her accountant has stolen all her money and fled the country. The only asset she has left is a boxer she purchased as a tax write-off. The executive then goads the boxer into re-starting his career.Comedic misfire from the mid-1970s in a futile attempt to bottle the same lightning that struck when Barbra Streisand teamed with Ryan O'Neal in What's Up, Doc? Here, Streisand plays a spoiled rich girl, the head of a bankrupt cosmetics company, who discovers she's lost everything--except her ownership of the contract of a washed-up boxer (O'Neal, known for his combative nature offscreen). So she tries to rally this dispirited pug into a comeback that will earn the kinds of purses that will put her back on her feet. Naturally, in the process romantic sparks are kindled. But despite a loud and energetic performance by Streisand, this Howard Zieff comedy doesn't add up to much. --Marshall Fine
