The Hammer Review Aims For Charm Over Budget
Adam Carolla stars in The Hammer a low budget 2007 comedy about a washed up 40 year old boxer who becomes a carpenter and gym instructor. Director Charles Herman Wurmfeld frames suburban Los Angeles while Carolla uses deadpan riffs to drive a predictable inspirational comeback tale.

The Hammer review shows a loose buddy vibe and boxing jokes
The film stars Adam Carolla as a crusty coach guiding a lanky light heavyweight hopeful while amid romantic tangles with Heather Juergensen. It relies on familiar banter and inside jokes from Carolla friends, with Oswaldo Castillo as his best friend. The Pasadena gym backstory adds authenticity and humor, but the result feels like a casual film-school project. Rated R for brief language.
