Review of Against the Ropes (2004) by Nuno S — 13 Jul 2011
Loosely based and I mean really loosely on the life of boxing manager Jackie Kallen. Meg Ryan delivers a good performance in a movie that had so much potential but at times falls flat. My biggest misunderstanding with this movie is why it says anything about Jackie Kallen, besides the name of Meg Ryan's character and her gender, nothing else resembles the real Jackie Kallen's life.
This is a predictable, feel good by the end film and it fulfills that purpose. So what if you have it figured out half way through, Meg Ryan and Omar Epps performances make up for the completely stereotyped performances of everyone else in the movie.
Worth renting at least once.
