On the last day of school, right on Senior Prank Day in Roosevelt High, things don't look good for meek English teacher Andy Campbell, who feels exceptionally expendable facing a bleak future in front of severe job cuts, just before the year's new school season. But soon, things will go from bad to worse when feeble Campbell will infuriate the scary hot-headed history teacher Ron Strickland, who in turn, he will challenge him in an old-school, no-holds-barred, mano-a-mano throwdown in front of everybody, in the parking lot after school. Inevitably, now that the fight is on, no excuses, no regrets, and certainly no talking sense into Strickland, is going to save Campbell who needs to face the consequences of his actions and pay the heavy price. After all, snitches get stitches.
Leave your thoughts about Fist Fight.
| Minneapolis Star TribuneColin CovertThis is a case of a film with a threadbare premise handling its actors and material with such assurance that it performs like a cockeyed jewel. |
| The Film StageJared MobarakIt’s stupid, mindless, and crude, but I laughed throughout and admittedly can’t wait to watch it again. |
| Philadelphia Daily NewsGary ThompsonThe fight itself is actually well-staged - several minutes of inventive physical comedy. The stuff that precedes it - an hour or so of low-hanging raunch -- may leave you feeling more beat-up than upbeat. |
| AV ClubIgnatiy VishnevetskyThe fact is that moviegoers deserve a better class of comedy, or at least movies that aren’t composed of one part recycled three-act filler and one part vamping. |
| New York Daily NewsJordan HoffmanVulgar, brutal, surreal and extremely funny. |
| Detroit NewsAdam Graham"Fist Fight" is so terminally unpleasant that it feels like the audience is the one catching a beating. In this fight, there are only losers. |
| Village VoiceBilge EbiriThanks to that cast, and some savvy direction, you might very well enjoy Fist Fight. But don’t be surprised if it also leaves a sour taste in your mouth. |
| Boston HeraldStephen SchaeferFist Fight is a high-concept, intentionally outrageous comedy that somehow works. |
| CraveOnlineWilliam BibbianiThere are better ways to spend your time. Like getting in a fist fight. |
| IGN MoviesAlex GilyadovA boisterously funny and enjoyable ride that works so well because of its leads. |
