What the Critics say | ||
Cape Argus / The Star Theresa Smith | 10 | |
ReelViews James Berardinelli The drama is weak and unconvincing even by sit-com standards. Nevertheless, Grudge Match is enjoyable in an undemanding fashion until it crashes and burns at the end. | 10 | |
ScreenIt C. Fuchs Like the sport itself, boxing movies had their heyday long ago, and this attempt to rekindle that comes off quite in line with any real-life boxer thinking he can get back in despite being decades past his prime. It's not a good idea, a sentiment that applies to this flick. | 8 | |
Metacritic.com 32 critics | 7 | |
Rottentomatoes critics 101 critics | 9 | |
Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer Grudge Match is sporadically funny but meandering, and its strong cast largely mired in a plot that's overrun with clichés. | 5 | |
