Summary: This movie's funny ...!!!
Review: ... This movie is a gigantic duel of both action and comedy! You'll be rolling on the floor laughing when you're not in awe of all the great acting!

The funniest fight was when 'Honey' Roy Palmer was fighting Sammy who got this brown bottle treatment! He kept farting and stinking the place up that he left the ring!

Summary: One Incredible Ending
Review: Diggstown is one of the most satisfying movies of all time. Lou Gossett Jr. and James Woods are at their all time bests. Bruce Dern plays an excellent bad guy, and you truly wind up hating him by the end of the movie.

This movie is witty, and the boxing scenes are done incredibly well, loaded with action. Diggstown is ultimately about one person's struggle to overcome seemingly insurmountable odds with a never-give-up attitude. This is captured quite nicely, as you can't help but cheer for Honey Roy Palmer (Gossett Jr.) to beat ten different boxers in a 24-hour period.

The film portrays the con game at its best, and keeps you guessing at who will be the supreme con-artist. It has several twists and turns that keeps you on your toes (no pun intended-okay, maybe a slight boxing pun) to the very unpredictable ending. Diggstown is truly a pleasure to watch.

Summary: Greatest Story Ever Told
Review: Diggstown represents a mans struggle against the forces of the collective which is diggstown aka communism. Honey Roy Palmer is a boxer who dosent know how to give up even when it looks like he is destined to lose... but he dosent aka democracy. This film with its subtle humor represents a powerful message that should be studied by government students and professors like I am.

Summary: Wildly, shamelessly entertaining.
Review: I sometimes feel guilty admitting this is one of my favorite movies.

In a nutshell, Woods and Gossett are extrodinary. Oliver Platt is wonderful and witty. There are laughs, fun dialogue, too-cool con-men, and more can-you-top-this endings than any 3 other movies.

Yes, it's transparent. Sure, it's cheap with some of it's moves. And, truly, it's vulgar in its attempts to manipulate the audience (what happens to the first of the two brothers is obscene story-telling).

But, wow, if there is any part of you that cheered at Rocky, that pulled for Butch and Sandance, had fun getting stung by the Sting, and if you'll let yourself get swept away by the story and the actors, you'll stand up and cheer at the end.

You just might not respect yourself in the morning.

Review: I wasn't sure what to expect when my friend showed me this movie. After all, I'd never heard of it before, and I find that, usually, if I haven't heard of a movie then that means there wasn't much to hear about. This one didn't follow that rule.

This flick is a wonderful diversion, with a little action, a little drama, and a lot of comedy. James Woods proves the adage, "you can't con a con-man". His fast talking abrasive style is well suited to this role. Louis Gosset Jr. does very well as the underdog. And, although it's small, Oliver Platt has one of my favorite roles in the film.

This isn't a change-your-life, make-your-eyes-pop-out, second-coming-of-Christ kind of movie, but it is most assuredly a good movie to own and be able to enjoy on a rainy day.
