Fist Fight | Ratings & Reviews

"There’s a fun comedy in Fist Fight and it lasts for about half an hour. The first 15 minutes present Charlie Day as an English teacher / adult-sized welcome mat that just wants to get through the last day of class without falling victim to the students’ pranks or the principal’s firing line. Instead, he pisses off a monstrous teacher (Ice Cube) that vows to beat him up after school. There’s some good gags in the setup to show how deep this school is in the gutter and the actual fist fight is enjoyably nuts."

"Fist Fight isn't there to make you think, but to make you laugh, and it mostly does."

Village VoiceVillage Voice

"By far the most disheartening studio-produced movie in recent memory, setting an abysmal example for anyone who goes to school (or the movies, for that matter) still hoping to learn."

VarietyVariety

"It did give me something I needed. Not catharsis or uplift but a bracing dose of profane, sloppy, reasonably well-directed hostility. We take what we can get."

The New York TimesThe New York Times

"A cinematic lesson in how not to make an entertaining comedy."

StuffStuff

"Day's the runt, Cube is the bully, and for a punishing 91 minutes of rank idiocy we wait in vain for something funny to happen."

Rolling StoneRolling Stone

"For much of its fast-paced running time, the film... is just amusing enough to make up for its sheer preposterousness; it operates in such a seemingly far-fetched world that logic is out the window at pretty much hello."

Los Angeles TimesLos Angeles Times

"Represents a missed opportunity, given the talents of this charismatic and game cast."

Hollywood ReporterHollywood Reporter

"The laziest kind of comedy, and a waste of time for everyone involved, including the audience."
