The Hammer could have become a typically sappy sports flick, but [Adam Carolla] filled it with enough of his trademark humor to keep things fresh even with plotting that isn't groundbreaking."

One of the films that should not fly under the radar of sports comedy fans, "The Hammer" is a surprising good time at the movies.

I think it's a terrific little film.

Forget the 40 Year Old Virgin. How about the 40 Year Old Boxer with Self-Esteem Issues?

I never would have guessed that Adam Carolla, the politically incorrect radio and TV personality, could hold his own in a movie, but here's The Hammer to prove me wrong.

Yes, this comedy about a sad-sack, has-been boxer is painfully predictable and manages to include every cliche of the genre, but executive producer and star Adam Carolla keeps it rolling along with his trademark, deadpan rants.
March 21, 2008
A nearly comatose comedy that spends its time just bum-stumbling along, never putting in the work necessary to land a solid joke or develop a winning character.
March 21, 2008
Working with utterly predictable material, screenwriter Kevin Hench finds plenty of offbeat humor, and Carolla knows how to make it sing.

For anyone in their late 30s and early 40s who has seen a great deal of their lives pass them by, this can be very relateable.

Much of the film's charm comes from its scruffy, self-effacing modesty; it's a relaxed, affable underdog about a relaxed, affable underdog.

The Hammer is one of the year's nicest surprises.
