Robert De Niro and Sylvester Stallone star as old boxing rivals who come out of retirement for one final match. On their first encounter in decades, their long-festering feud erupts into an unintentionally hilarious melee that instantly goes viral. The sudden social media frenzy transforms their local grudge match into a must-see HBO event. Now, if they can just survive the training, they may actually live to fight again. -- (C) Warner Bros.

When you saw the trailer for Grudge Match you probably did the same eye roll as me. Here we go again, old actors trying to cash in on their past movie success. But that is not the case with this movie! I loved it. From start to finish it was funny and heartwarming. There wasn’t anyone in the movie I didn’t like. There is a great story and fun snarky dialogue. They poke fun at the Rocky movie franchise but don’t use it to carry the movie or make it cheesy. Kevin Hart can be a bit over the top, but his type of comedy was perfect for his role as a “down on his luck” boxing manager. There was a lot of chemistry between Hart and Stallone.
Make sure you stay through the first part of the credits. There are a couple of short scenes. The last one is probably the funniest of the movie.
