'Hammer' Time

If you've been watching this current season of Dancing with the Stars, then you've probably heard newly booted contestant Adam Carolla plug his latest film The Hammer. Now, PTR doesn't usually delve into the film world (unless a film involves one of our faves, of course), but every once in a while we like to help out the little guys since we're, well, a little guy ourselves. So in that spirit, we'd like to let you know about this self-distributed film that is getting some big buzz from both critics and movie-goers alike. Carolla stars in the sports comedy (he also serves as an executive producer) about a man who re-evaluates his life after his 40th birthday and decides to get back into the boxing ring instead of teaching the sport to middle-aged gym-goers. Ebert & Roper gave it "two thumbs up" and put it on their "three to see" list. New York Times called it "as unexpected as it is moving." And The Hollywood Reporter called it "delightfully funny." Check it out for yourself with this official trailer:
