Yay, free HBO weekend + DVR.

Old Stallone vs. Old De Niro.

Was an OK movie. Had a couple chuckles. Was sort of funny seeing old footage of Stallone boxing that didn't end up in the Rocky movies. Was more about old regrets and unfinished business that it was about boxing.

Oh yeah. Saw most of this a month ago and forgot. Will post more later.

Synopsis:

Senior citizens Rocky Balboa and Jake LaMotta duke it out one last time for the benjamins.

Review:

This movie has two comedy beats. One is between Sly and DeNiro about being old. The other is between Alan Arkin and Kevin Hart (doing his best Chris Tucker ... damn, they should do a film together called Who's Got the Highest Voice) who insult each other endlessly throughout the flick. It's like one of the writers only knew how to do one-liners and the rest of the staff gave him that dialog exclusively.

Verdict:

It's above average, but only because of the star power.
