    Shallow, poorly written, cliched nonsense

    Wow - this move is bad. I was excited to watch it with all the great ratings and reviews. What a fool I was. I'm only writing this review because I'm so angry it has such high ratings and I feel a duty to try and change that. This movie is truly awful. The characters are one dimensional cliches - central character with an incurable disease and deep family trauma - check, struggling single mother with smart and beautiful daughter - check, bully ex- boyfriend of said single mother - check, elderly coach with drinking problem - check, tough, but wise and caring gym owner who takes central character under her wing ( oh and she's a recovering addict too of course) - check. The script and plot were unimaginative, wooden and utterly predictable. If you told me ChatGPT had written it I would not be surprised. Even the music was poorly chosen and never seemed to match the tone of the scenes. I'm sure a bunch of people will watch this because of the great reviews, but if you do and you hate it, don't say I didn't warn you!!!!

    No sophistication here

    Boxing movies arent all great and neither are faux inspiring movies about *insert tragic medical diagnosis* This is afterschool special stuff at best but actually feels more of a teenage girls fantastical idea than anything resembling a real story.

    The dialogue is cringe-worthy.

    The lead actor isnt believable as this character at any point. My grandma throws a better punch!

    Overacting abounds. The characters are written as stereotypes.

    Who am I supposed to root for in this film because the lead character is pathetic not inspiring! The nickname is cringeworthy and the actors sound stupid saying it

    Im an excellent reviewer, not an excellent writer but I went ahead and wrote this review so there would be 1 honest review. The only thing worse than this movie are the phony reviews giving it a high rating.

    Hey Ma, put the pen down, you're the only one that thinks this movie is good.

    Tim Realbuto - Remember the name

    An inspiring and emotional journey as a young man discovers who he truly is and what he is capable of. Tim Realbuto's transformation is legendary and made me realize that I need to try harder (in basically all aspects of life). Incredible performances by a stellar supporting cast. Vivica A. Fox shines as the trainer, Taryn Manning and Matt Peters are sublime talents, and there's even a cameo by Coolio! Solid casting and another gem by writer/director Rob Margolies. I was lucky enough to see a screening at the Orlando Film Festival and highly recommend that you catch it any chance you get. It's going to tug on your heart strings but a little catharsis is good for your soul.

    Bobcat Moretti is this years inspirational film!

    I enjoyed this film so much! Vivica Fox gives a career best performance. Watching Tim Realbuto's transformation is cinematically incredible. The waves of emotions I had while watching really hit home. It really is an underdog story. Tarryn Manning and Matt Peters were so good. A great cast of many familiar faces. Nice to see Coolio in this movie as well. This is one of those movies where you really root for the main character. You can feel his pain and sorrow. Tim Realbuto deserves to win some major awards for his stellar performance. I highly recommend this little movie that packs a punch! A must see!

    Loved this film! Big heart and unpredictable twists and turns!

    I had the pleasure of seeing Bobcat Moretti in two different great film festivals. I enjoyed it so much I seen it three times. It is so well written, Directed and performed. Each character is so layered! I enjoyed the journey of learning about them. I dont want to give anything away but can tell you, your heart strings will be tugged, you will pull for Bobcat, be inspired and be blown away by Tim Realbuto's performance!!! Every time you think how much can one person take? He takes another blow The Direction of Rob Margolies is so skillful. Love his style of story telling. So relatable with so much heart. Totally recommend this film.
