In my opinion, the best boxing movie ever made (I wasn't so big on Raging Bull), and the boxing had very little to do with it. Marky Mark's family in this movie is so freaky that I couldn't help but wonder if they were simply writer's embellishments. From his overbearing, attention hog mother to his rogue's gallery of seven beastly sisters who look more like Jabba the Hutt's cronies than sisters (seriously, they look like a women's softball team from the Point) to his crackhead brother, Marky Mark's family seems to be his biggest problem. The movie is entertaining as heck from start to finish, thanks to great writing and incredible acting all around. The only complaint I have is that the boxing matches themselves were shot with some kind of cheapo video camera that makes it look like you're sitting too close to the TV. Otherwise, cinematic perfection!
