"The Hammer"

So I finally sat my ass down and watched “The Hammer”, a film written by Adam Carolla. This is a great film. I remember hearing Adam when he was on the regular ass radio (97.1 KLSX which became FreeFM which became a piece of shit top 40 station that I refuse to listen to). I hoped this movie would be good and it was past good.

It was great.

The movie stars Adam as Jerry Ferro, a carpenter that has just turned 40. He loses his job, his woman, and most of his dignity within one day. He also works as a boxing trainer at a gym. He decides to try out for the Olympic boxing team when a promoter says he still has what it takes after knocking down a rising boxing superstar during a sparring session.

The movie also co-stars Oswaldo Castillo who you may know as Ozzie from Adam’s radio show. The two of them together are too damn funny. As the love interest (I hate that term) Heather Juergensen as Lindsay, a student at the gym who Jerry asks on a date. The trip to the La Brea Tar Pits is full of funny jokes that had me cracking up laughing.

I don’t want to ruin the rest of the movie for those who haven’t seen it and are slow asses like me. Trust me, there hasn’t been a movie like this made since the 80’s when they made films you still quote and remember to this day. It makes you wanna enjoy life and good friends and that no matter how old you are there’s always a chance to be great.

For those of you that don’t know, a one point while I was working at the porn shop I appeared on Adam’s radio show. Just click here to read my old article about working there and being on his show which turned out to be a very fun thing and made me somewhat popular amongst Adam’s gay fans that listened to the show. More than you’d suspect.

So see “The Hammer and let me know what you think. I know you’ll love it.
