It’s rare that a movie with so many F-bombs and drawings of male reproductive organs has such a witty Ken Burns gag. Fist Fight is a knockout.
While I can’t exactly say that the movie cheered me up, it did give me something I needed. Not catharsis or uplift but a bracing dose of profane, sloppy, reasonably well-directed hostility. We take what we can get.

This review is being written by Bethani Eskridge.I believe student on student bulling has decreased in the school systems due to behavioral units within the school systems. Most students that physically bully have limited timing in the classrooms or have been eliminated from the classroom. I am aware of this because I use to work as a Teacher assistant for Randy Wood in the Jessamine County School Systems back in 2013-2014. However bullying has not been eliminated in the schools anymore. It has now come to teachers bullying students mentally. I know because my daughter is being bullied by a teacher that picks favorites. I think there should be 2 teachers in each classroom one teacher that knows signs of mental abusers and one that is the abuser. I think the teacger that mentally abuses students should be parented by the teacher who knows signs of mental abusers(people who show love for there favorite students and show petty discipline to students that they don't like) I think this movie could be a good solution to eliminate bullying in schools between teacher on student abuse. For more facts and evidence on my reasoning. This could also help teach and entertain students on different types of adults in the world and which ones to seek help from and which ones to stay away from. For more facts and evidence on my reasons you can email me at ****. Boolean MySQLi

Predictable and overdone, it’s yet another unremarkable studio comedy that wobbles on its before getting knocked out.
The fact is that moviegoers deserve a better class of comedy, or at least movies that aren’t composed of one part recycled three-act filler and one part vamping.
The slapsticky, sight-gag-heavy yukfest, which is filled with the kind of phallic humor you may have sniggered at when you were 16, floats like a dead butterfly and stings like a B-movie.
What’s most unfortunate about Fist Fight is the wealth of talent it amasses for little to no discernible purpose.
Had I been attending Fist Fight as a non-critic, any number of scenes might well have catapulted me out of my seat and out the door.
It was a lot better than we expected it to be! My only qualm is that I don't find Jillian Bell very funny, and I thought her role in the movie was just weird and unnecessary. Charlie Day and Ice Cube both gave great performances, and there was even a little bit of reality thrown into it about the sorely understaffed public school system. Charlie Day's daughter performing was definitely one of my favorite parts of the movie hands down!

Ice Cube and Charlie Day's chemistry is by far the best part of this movie. Nothing else in the movie matches up to that, which is one of the problems. I must say though, quite a bit of laughs throughout.
