Reviews & comments
Flicks, Dominic Corry
flicksWith films like The Expendables and Last Vegas clogging up the multiplexes, the cinema of nostalgia appears to be in full swing. Grudge Match is the second film of its kind starring Robert De Niro to be released in as many weeks in New Zealand, but thankfully it's a bit more fun than last week's abhorrent Last Vegas.
Great 80's Throwback
This is a typical guys flick, has humor, action and a couple of 80's Action heroes! A true homage to all boxing films but not in a typical sense. De Niro with his Raging Bull history and Stallone with his mass of Rocky Films come together in a film that has the cheesy one liners and feel good undertones and hard hitting action of any great 80's Action film....

pressSporadically amusing, with some chucklesome sight gags and crowdpleasing supporting turns from Alan Arkin and Kevin Hart.
The Age
pressAlthough it seeks to send up their greatest on-screen achievements, this half-baked farce merely reinforces the idea that De Niro and Stallone have seen better days.

pressAn idea that must have sounded good on paper looks a lot less smart on the screen.
