About
You’ll likely enjoy this feel-good underdog MMA comedy if you want a warm, crowd-pleasing story with frequent laughs and big end-of-movie momentum; Not for you if you dislike predictable sports comedy like Never Back Down or want more consistent humor than the mixed tone provides.
Pros: likable main cast; funny underdog drive; engaging final fights | Cons: predictable story; many lame jokes; mixed/shifted tone
