I bought this DVD because I’m a longtime fan of Adam Carolla, but you don’t have to be a fan to appreciate this absolutely priceless film. If you’re expecting raunchy Man Show humor, you won’t find it here. This is a sweet, inspiring, romantic comedy that equals The Wedding Singer for striking the perfect blend of quirky humor, likable characters, and a fabulous feel-good ending.
The Hammer is a semi-autobiographical film about a middle-aged loser (Carolla’s Jerry Ferro) who gets the chance to pursue his lifelong dream, a shot at the Olympic Boxing Team. The story is beautifully told with the help of a perfect cast of characters. Oswaldo Castillo, Carolla’s real-life construction friend, is particularly likable as Jerry’s sidekick Ozzie. Castillo’s Nicaraguan accent is so thick that he is often impossible to understand, which only makes the character more endearing.
Viewers from Southern California will no doubt appreciate some of the local humor and scenery, but you don’t have to be from Los Angeles to enjoy Jerry’s laugh out loud “date” at the La Brea Tar Pits.
This film is rated R for “Brief Language,” which amounts to the use of the F word once or twice. Other than that, this film is as wholesome as it gets. There is no nudity, sexual situations, violence, or excessive profanity. I would have no problem allowing a 12-year-old to watch this.
The Hammer is a story of friendship, love, and pursuing your dreams. May this film find the success on the small screen that it missed in its limited run theatrical release.

I would have never heard of this movie if it wasn't for Adam Carolla's now cancelled morning radio show. It was such an uplifting, witty, fact of life humor, movie that it makes a genre of its own.
The real life story's that Adam puts in his movie, such as his truck, construction work, great amateur boxer and so on, was even more funny if you listened to his morning show where he talked about those stories from his childhood.
Although many think this movie is just a sports comedy, it is almost a romantic comedy. One you can watch over and over.
Adam Carolla basically made this movie for free. He did it for his fans, which I think is awesome. He put in his actual friends in the movie which many would not do. Even if you do not know Adam Carolla I truly believe you will enjoy this movie and it's a great one to add to the collection
Give this movie a try, you will love it and pass the word or movie along.
Disclaimer: If you do not like Adam Carolla's humor I would go ahead and pass this one bye.

Hammer movie...classic Carolla.

If you are a fan of Adam Carolla's droning voice, dry humor, and charmingly matter-of-fact outlook on life, then you will like this movie. If not, then you will probably hate it.
I, myself, thought it was very well made considering the budget, and really gives viewers a look into Adam Carolla's heart...which can be a rare thing.
For what it's worth....

I HAVE OWNED AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP IN THE VALLEY FOR 22 YEARS. I KNOW EVERYTHING ADAM REFERS TO AND HIS EXAMPLES FROM THE VALLEY AND BEING WITH NO MONEY AND WORKING FROM THE GROUND UP. ALSO BOUGHT THIS FOR MY 20 YEAR DAUGHTER.

The Hammer Hits HomeI was totally impressed with Adam Carolla's boxing talent! This was a very entertaining journey from average shmuck to interesting shmuck. Carolla co-wrote the screenplay about a carpenter and his hilarious side-kick Ossie. Ossie is actually Carolla's "real life" friend and construction partner. After being fired, Carolla gets a chance to spar with a pro boxer for $100 and he wins. An olympic trainer happens to see the match and he offers Carolla a shot at the olympic boxing team. A love interest joins the gang and the barage of witty one liners goes into over drive. The twist at the end is unexpected but heart-felt. Ossie was perfect for his role!

Watch if you're a Carolla fan
) If you're a Carolla fan you may like this movie. His rants are hilarious through out the movie but overall the movie is not really that good. Worth the 99 cents I paid...

The Hammer- Adam CarollaReview created: 05/16/09
by:
Easily the most under-rated talent in Hollywood, Carolla hits a home run. This tounge and cheek comedy speaks to the working man whose dreams are bigger than the town they are from.

Not the conventional style you'd expect from CarollaReview created: 05/03/09(updated 05/03/09)

I am a huge fan of Adam Carolla and have been fallowing his career since his days as host of "Loveline" the radio show. I love Adam's testosterone fueled, honest, sort of ironic brand of comedy for which he's best known but as co-writer of this movie he threw out a curve ball and decided to reveal to us all that he has a softer side. The movie wasn't a 90 minute episode of the "Man Show" like I originally thought it would be, but it was equally hilarious and this time you can bring your girlfriend. I knew Adam was funny but wasn't sure about his acting ability. He proves that he is a force to be reckoned with in this movie. Weather you're a fan or not, "The Hammer" will have you pleasantly surprised untill the very end.
