You're OUT!, 24 August 2008
2/10
Author: angelsunchained from United States

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. You are out! Exactly. This movie stunk. It should of been counted out at the opening credits. Boring, stupid, and boring interactions between the three main characters. Gay bashing that never ended. No sparks between any of the stars. They were all flat, dull, boring, and lifeless. With the exception of a hot red dress, there is nothing of any interest to recall here. If you want to see boxing classics, rent The Set-Up, Body and Soul, or Fat City. If you're looking for comedy boxing, The Kid From Brookyln with Danny Kay is a great bet. As for Play It To The Bon, count to ten and forget about it!
