Summary: Not a Knock Out!
Review: The fight scenes in this moive were very good but the lack of action and the boring drive to the fight made this film not as good as it could have been. Boxing fans will recognize lots of big named extras at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, where the big fight scene takes palce. I enjoyed the soundtrack very much too.This movie was a good rental but nothing you would want to watch a second time or own.

Summary: Offbeat, irreverent, and sometimes....... even funny
Review: This film has been knocked down more times than Dominguez and Boudreau in the climatic final fight scene. Sure the story was a bit uneven, but I still liked this quirky buddy/road trip movie for its unexpected and offbeat take that includes a seamier side of professional boxing. Antonio Banderas and Woody Harrelson are likeable stars and I thought they played off each other very well. While Harrelson is known to shift effortlessly from dramatic to comedic roles and back again, this was the first time I saw a lighter, more humorous side of Banderas and I thought he acquitted himself very well. Talented and sexy Lolita Davidovich as their street smart and savvy love interest was as much a welcomed casting choice as Lucy Liu's was a total waste of time other than being the object of Harrelson's vivid backseat description of her femininity prior to a hilarious if impromptu and primitive tryst. A host of cameo appearances fill out the rest of the card. Don't bring high expectations to the match and you won't be unduly disappointed, and you just may be mildly entertained for 2 hours.

Summary: Not as funny as it looked
Review: This is about two guys who'll do almost anything for money, including beating each other up. When a high profile boxing event loses its undercard, sparring buddies step into the ring.

Summary: 1 star is too many
Review: This is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. A bad roadtrip/buddy/sports movie with no redeeming value. I did not find any part of it to be entertaining. Do not expose yourself to this drivel.

Summary: Rent Don't Buy
Review: This slow moving movie, at least the first two thirds makes one want to hit the stop button and put another disk in the player. Even though the lead parts are decently acted they cannot sustain a screen play that is saturated with high school, crude, gratuitous humor. It tells the story of two down and out fighters who get a last minute chance to fight on the undercard of a heavyweight fight that is being televised world wide. Harrelson and Bandaras overplay their roles, the best performance comes from the sexy Lolita Davidovitch. She carries this weak theme with a long car ride from LA to Vegas. An unbearably long ride. For some odd reason there is a homophobic theme throughout. The Asian woman that is picked up along the way is a silly, meaningless part, especially when she ends up in a very absurd sex scene with Harrelson. The fight scenes are well done but the bloody parts reek of ketchup and look phoney as is the imagery. The ending is predictable. A lot of talented people put this movie together but it does not succeed.

Summary: Not Worth Your Time
Review: Two ex-boxing stars who just happen to be best friends are offered to fight before the featured Mike Tyson fight. They drive to Vegas for the next sixty minutes, filled with dabs of humor or drama that never click. The actual fight is a little entertaining, but not worth the price of admission. No one should watch this; in fact, I'll ruin the ending so you won't have an excuse to view it: a predictable draw. Then they lose their money on the roulette wheel. Fun.

Summary: Not as good as the previews but.......
Review: When Touchstone released their preview of this movie, they made is come across as a comedy. Actually Play it to the Bone is closer to the Rocky movies than it is any comedy. Aside from that, if I never saw the previews I would have liked this movie a whole lot more. Im not saying it is bad, it is actually pretty good. It is a little slow in a couple of places but this is still an entertaining movie. Woody Harrelson and Antonio Banderas are both great. I recommend renting this one first before you buy it.

Summary: Why did this movie get made?
Review: With this movie being as bad as it was it is no surprise that it was only in theaters for about a week. Woody was way out of the caliber of performances that we all know that he can do. Antonio was about the same in this movie as he has been in all of his other pahtetic films. Lucy Liu may be attractive, but it is not worth having to watch this attrocious film just for her.
