Directed By: Charles Herman-Wermfeld Written By: Adam Corolla and Kevin Hench Starring: Adam Corolla and Oswaldo Castillo I wasn’t really expecting much going into this even though I am a fan of Adam Corolla from listening to his past work on Loveline and seeing him on the Man Show. I didn’t recognize anybody from this movie, except for a cameo by Jane Lynch who is probably the biggest name in the movie. Despite the movie being extremely low budget and Corolla usually not doing well on camera, he does do a decent job of playing himself here: a former golden gloves 40 year old loser construction worker who is offered the chance to get back into boxing and into the Olympics. The writing is surprisingly tight and the jokes work well with Corrolla’s delivery, with just a few falling flat. There is also a romance subplot that is done well without being annoying and is still funny. Overall, a great first movie for Adam Corolla, and good work from all the actors, especially since I didn’t recognize anybody (except one other person). 4/5
