Can a guy edging into middle age become a success fighting guys half his age? That's the big question behind this independent comedy. Jerry Ferro (Adam Carolla) is almost 40 years old, and he's spent most of his life going nowhere -- and taking his own sweet time getting there. While Jerry enjoyed some success as an amateur boxer when he was young, these days he's out of shape, drinks too much, and scrapes by working in construction. Through his work as a handyman, Jerry has landed a part-time job teaching boxing at a gym in Pasadena, though none of his students are likely to ever move beyond sparring as a hobby. One day, one of Jerry's old friends, Eddie Bell (Tom Quinn), stops by the gym with a promising new fighter he's training. Since he's short on sparring partners, Eddie asks Jerry to step into the ring with the young boxer, and while it's clear that Jerry is in lousy shape and out of practice, he also manages to knock out the challenger with one well-placed punch. Eddie is convinced Jerry still has what it takes, and offers to help Jerry make a comeback, confident that despite his age he can land him a spot on the U.S. Olympic Boxing Team. Also starring Heather Juergensen, The Hammer received its world premiere at the 2007 Tribeca Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Review For The Hammer

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.
Christy Lemire-Associated Press

I think it's a terrific little film.
Richard Roeper-Ebert & Roeper

Working with utterly predictable material, screenwriter Kevin Hench finds plenty of offbeat humor, and Carolla knows how to make it sing.
Moira MacDonald-Seattle Times

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.
Walter V. Addiego-San Francisco Chronicle

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.
Stephen Whitty-Newark Star-Ledger

[Adam] Carolla's grumbly, monotoned, stoop-shouldered pessimism in The Hammer, the first feature he has penned, is actually funny.
Joe Neumaier-New York Daily News

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."
Forrest Hartman-Reno Gazette-Journal

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.
Kevin Carr-7M Pictures

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.
Kristian Harloff-Schmoes Know

It's not "Rocky" and it's not "Caddyshack", but "The Hammer" was a pleasant surprise and is a welcome addition to the all-too-small list of reliable sports comedies.
Mark Ellis-Schmoes Know

The Hammer is one of the year's nicest surprises.
Patrick Walsh-Cinematical

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

Forget the 40 Year Old Virgin. How about the 40 Year Old Boxer with Self-Esteem Issues?
Kelly Vance-East Bay Express

All The Hammer really adds to the boxing-movie canon is the refreshing air of not worrying about adding anything to the boxing-movie canon. That, and being funny.
Jonathan Kiefer-Sacramento News & Review

watchable, if not unique.. all in good fun
Christopher Null-Filmcritic.com

Like a television show, The Hammer wields that mysterious power to keep you watching even though you know it isn't any good.
Bill White-Seattle Post-Intelligencer

A boxing comedy with a potty mouth and warm heart.
James Rocchi-Common Sense Media

To his credit, Carolla carries 'The Hammer' with self-assured ease, hoisting the film on his broad shoulders while making sure, as screenwriter, to leave some of its sharpest one-liners to his supporting cast.
Rossiter Drake-San Francisco Examiner

Succeeds in spite of itself.
Brent Simon-FilmStew.com

Adam Carolla isn't everyone's cup of tea, but the man can sling around an acidic one-liner with the best of them, and his starring debut is a familiar, but persuasively funny brew of clichés and belly laughs.
Brian Orndorf-BrianOrndorf.com

There are plenty of opportunities for Carolla to spout wisdom and observations.
Fred Topel-Can Magazine

Carolla is winning in The Hammer, which evokes Rocky and just about every other lovable-loser sports movie while showing enough comic originality to hold interest throughout.
Carla Meyer-Sacramento Bee
