Adam Carolla is long done with The Man Show but now hosts a morning radio show in Los Angeles. I like to listen to the podcasts every once in a while. This year he's really been pitching The Hammer, his new independent movie. The movie is about an aging carpenter (Carolla) who finds himself back in the boxing ring chasing his long dormant boxing dreams. God bless Netflix for having the DVDs because the limited theater run was laughable. Adam's radio plugs made it seem like it was playing in about 6 theaters across the country.
On to the review... On the radio show, Adam is constantly talking about his early life working crappy manual labor jobs so this part isn't that much of a stretch. I went into the film with extremely low expectation but came away pleasantly surprised. Adam definitely delivers some solid laughs but the big surprise is how much heart the story has. Possibly even more shocking is the fact that Sarah commented on how much she liked it. Check it out.
