Movie Reviews

Dallas Morning News - 9/10 by Philip WuntchFar from a championship movie, but it's fun while it lasts.
Ebert & Roeper - 9/10 by Richard RoeperEvery scene in this movie plays like a scene from another boxing movie.
Denton Record-Chronicle - 9/10 by Boo AllenMeg floats like a bee and stings like a butterfly in this misguided jumble of sports cliches.
Newsday - 9/10 by John AndersonMore business as usual, despite the feminist aspects of Kallen's story.
About.com - 9/10 by Fred TopelThe great thing about sports movies is it doesn't really matter that they're all the same.
Reeling Reviews - 8/10 by Laura CliffordRyan, fitted out with...Brokovich-provocative wardrobe gives an interesting performance, but one that constantly demands analysis
FilmStew.com - 8/10 by Brett BuckalewThis awkward hybrid of two popular film genres is to the art of moviemaking what Ali's famous "rope-a-dope" technique was to boxing.
Film Blather - 8/10 by Eugene NovikovObvious, irritating boxing girl power movie.
Denver Rocky Mountain News - 8/10 by Robert DenersteinUnlike Rocky and other cornball boxing movies, this one fails to land the knockout blow and winds up dispensing love taps in a hardboiled business.
Chicago Sun-Times - 8/10 by Roger EbertAgainst the Ropes meanders until it gets to the final third of its running time, and then it catches fire.
