    This may be the worst movie of the year as it was that bad.

    After watching this dreck, it appears that Meg's career is going down for the count. Just awful.

    Even Frasier did not look this bad going down for the count. Perhaps Sonny Liston who fell before a punch was landed, but Meg she is now one and done.

    Poor Meg must have done the movie for the money to pay alimoney to Denis her former husband but she is ruining her career and her acting is abysmal along with the other actors. If you want to watch wooden acting here is the movie. The story is not bad but the movie sux. I can't say one good wood about it. Wait for the video.

    Ryan never quite convinces us she's seen the inside of a fight gym, much less that she's worthy to be Rocky in a miniskirt. On the other hand, her director here was not Campion but actor Charles S. Dutton, whose behind-the-camera skills, developed via cable TV, tend toward the cartoonish.

    For all I know, Ryan's performance could be a dead-on Kallen impression. But what she appears to be doing is an impression of Johnny Depp doing an impression of Keith Richards doing an impression of Liz Taylor.

    It's a real shame that most new boxing movies try to copy the crowd-pleasing, sentiment-choked tactics of "Rocky" rather than the stark drama of "Raging Bull" or the realistic grit of "On the Waterfront" and "The Harder They Fall." Against the Ropes is only the latest sorry example. The sad thing is that, with this real-life story and subject, it could have been a contender.
