Miguel Quer Lutar

I don't write reviews here very often, haven't done one for years, but figured I would for this since it's getting a low rating, obviously from haters that just don't get it. Maybe they just don't like heart in movies, so ignore the low rating, this is a fantastic film: feel good, sharp and intelligent. Highly recommend if you like these types of movies... 9 out of 10.

Aside from that, it has some very cool and fun fight scenes, with some hilarious takes on some iconic films, a tribute of sorts. Hint, the posters in Miguel's room pretty much set the stage for what you are about to experiences.

Well, I believed that I was in for a comedy here, as I sat down to watch the 2023 movie "Miguel Wants to Fight". Sure, I had never heard about the movie prior to watching it, so I only knew what I had read on IMDb about it. But hey, with it being a movie that I hadn't heard about nor watched, of course I opted to give the movie a chance.

And while I did manage to sit through the 75 minutes that the movie ran for, I must admit that the movie was sort of bland and rather devoid of anything funny. So writers Shea Serrano and Jason Concepcion sort of failed to deliver a proper comedy script for the movie. I have to say that the storyline sort of fell short of entertaining me, and it was sort of just a repetitive narrative that the writers came up with.

The acting performances in the movie were fair enough, and it certainly was a movie that had a diverse cast ensemble put together. I found that to be enjoyable, actually. I wasn't familiar with the actors and actresses on the cast list, which is something I tend to enjoy when I watch a movie, as there are no associations to previously portrayed characters in other movies.

"Miguel Wants to Fight" is a movie that came and went without leaving any kind of lasting impression. And I bet that by next week I will have entirely forgotten about it.

My rating of director Oz Rodriguez's 2023 movie "Miguel Wants to Fight" lands on a four out of ten stars.

I enjoyed this movie. I has a lot of charm and made me laugh a decent number of times.

The title pretty much explains the premise of the movie. I felt that the trailer gave away to many of the best scenes, so if you can, watch it without watching the trailer.

The acting was good, and the actors/actress had good on screen chemistry, The movie was short but the premise suited a shorter run time so it didn't feel like a negative.

The story was decent. A bit cliched at times, but nothing too bad.

For a streaming movie, this is pretty good. If you have some time and are looking for a light hearted movie, this is a decent choice.

Hilarious coming of age tale! You could sense chemistry amongst Miguel (Tyler Dean Flores) and his friends. Dig the irony of Miguel's father being a Boxing Instructor. Only drag of the movie featured the Dennis Rodman attire/look of Miguel's best pal, David (Christian Vunipola). David overcame the Metrosexual look by simply being a Badass throughout. Thought the other two best friends (Cass & Srini) upstaged everybody.

Also featured a Hot Teacher in Mrs. Rodriguez (Dascha Polanco), and a School Bully (a la "Three O'clock High"). Suppose the only possible love interest was the Teacher...

Film was spread out well time-wise. Dude was literally racing time to be more like his friends, yet had to grow some balls to do so. Definitely worth a watch!
