Grudge Match may not have all the action and adrenaline rush of a typical Stallone action flick or suspense of a De Niro film, but it tells a good life story with a blend of humor and touch of seriousness. Essentially, two old boxing champs and rivals, who haven't boxed in 30 years and are now out-of-shape senior citizens, are coaxed into having a rematch. It's much more, however, than simply a "beat 'em up" boxing flick, as we learn that both men are tied together by an old common love interest (played by Kim Basinger). Both men also have had wildly divergent careers; Stallone sweating away in a metal foundry--from which he gets laid off in beginning of film--and De Niro a suave, successful business man with a fancy home. I never in a million years could have envisioned Kevin Hart starring in a movie with the likes of a Stallone or De Niro, but star he does and in an admirable, quite funny way as a boxing promoter. Oh, and another unlikely character pops up in the picture: LL Cool J! I'll just leave it at that. This isn't Stallone's or De Niro's best film by any stretch, but it's worth watching for the simple fun of seeing two old, ageing Italian tough guys unimaginably duking it out in the ring.Read full review

Although it's not Rocky vs. LaMotta, it was a brilliant story line bringing them together to film this. Too bad they didn't think of it 'earlier'! Especially for DiNiro.

I bought this dvd for my daughter, she liked it very much. Sylvester Stallone and Robert De Niro are awesome.
