In a time where the comedies in the box office are either slapstick and silly or shocking and nasty, we are desperate for something the least bit laughable, fun, and maybe a little smart. Adam Carolla's The Hammer delivers. The star admittedly says it's an 8, but he says it's an 8 in a sea of 2's and I couldn't agree more. Go see it, if it does well it'll say something about the film industry.

I saw this movie three times while i was in San Francisco and I would recommend this movie to anybody who loves an underdog comedy. Great dialogue, great cast and overall great story. As long as there are movies like this being made, there is still hope for a movie industry that has produced nothing but crap recently.

So we were going to sneak into a second movie on Saturday, so we had to kill a half hour and the pimple faced ticket taker was given us the stink eye. So we walked into a theater, did not know what it was just sat down and were going to leave in a half hour, but then the movie started. I do not think it even pop into my mind we were going to try and see something else ten minutes into this film. I have seen Adam Carolla on the man show, but I had know idea he was doing movies now. This movie was hilarious, my wife loved it and our ******* son loved it. I never heard of this movie. I thought afterward we snuck into some kind of sneak pre-view, because how can a movie this funny get No advertising? Go see this film to be pleasantly surprised about film, because I can not remember the last time I saw a film that did not telegraph the plot and the boiler plat ending before the film even started.

Ozzie was hysterical and Adam played himself. Very funny even my wife was cracking up.

I had my doubts about this movie last week when it was released, but I gave it a chance and was blown away. Adam Carolla hit the nail on the head with this boxing/romantic comedy film. Not only is it hilarious from beginning to end, but it appeals to everyone, regardless of age, gender, & race. I was so impressed with it that I took my Uncle & his girlfriend to a showing the next day and they LOVED it. They must have thanked me 20 times for taking them. They even convinced my grandpa to go see it and HE Loved it. This is very different from the type of movie I'd usually go out to see, & I'm not a huge Adam Carolla fan, but I must say that this is a small gem in a business full of processed crap. If you're up for an indie type film with a funny, heart-felt story that will leave you feeling oddly optimistic, The Hammer comes highly recommended.
