A mixed bag of a comedy about a young lady who falls for a hypochondriac. What to do? Obviously, hire a retired boxer to kidnap him and make a fighter of him. Yeah, I can see no flaws in this plan.
Only about half the jokes land in this picture, to be honest, but if you’re a fan of Fort Lee filmmaking or a fan of leading man Carlyle Blackwell, you will find this picture worth your time.
How does it end? Hover or tap below for a spoiler.
The plan works and Blackwell saves his lady love from a cad in the expected movie manner.

If it were a dessert it would be: Beeramisu. Tries a bit too hard but means well.
Availability: Released on DVD.

That sounds a lot like a Harold Lloyd plot.
Yeah, Lloyd’s films often waded into rom-com territory.
Maybe she secretly wanted him to get punched around a bit:)
Wouldn’t blame her 😉
