Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

A good movie for much of the way, worth watching largely for the interplay between the three leads. Harrelson, Banderas, and Davidovich have great banter during the road trip to Vegas from LA. The fight itself is enjoyable as boxing matches go, but the movie put itself in a bind in how it framed the two fighters, and the conclusion is a bit predictable. The ending of the movie is a bit anti-climactic. A good movie to watch as a TV movie when you have some time to kill. You get to see which actors were on the rise at the time and who the producers thought would be big celebrities. For example, getting Kevin Costner was a big deal in the '90s, though by 1999 his star was beginning to fade. On the whole, a middling movie.

Had to review this film because the rating is so low and I caught it on TV tonight.It's really more on the borderline of 6-7 with me and I'm a boxing fan so it would likely be lower if I knew nothing about boxing.This is a good movie to just drink beer and not really pay too much attention to. I think that's really the target demographic just goofy/offensive comedy for people who aren't looking for anything too serious.I laughed quite a few times but then again I'm not easily offended by politically or socially incorrect humor.Not a great movie by any stretch of the imagination but it was entertaining enough to at least be a 6-7 for me.I think it helps if you currently have or had friends in the past who are pretty competitive and like to trash talk a ton. Definitely a love/hate relationship here between the two main characters, mainly hate... but I found it pretty hilarious in some scenes.

"Play It To The Bone" is about two guys who are good friends and washed up boxers who are taking a road trip to fight each other in the ring for some money and the audience learn some stuff about there background as they reach there destination. The girl that gets between the two fighters played by Antonio Banderas and Woody Harrelson is Lolita Davidovich who is basically a skank but tries to act like she is not, a very irritating character that is portrayed as like being the hot girl that every guy falls for, also a temptress who use men for what she wants, but she is pretty fugly looking and can't imagine any guy falling for her in the way it's portrayed in the movie, when a lot of the movie time is taken up by the two rivals fighting amongst each other for a girl, at least make her attractive or at least somewhat likable. The characters are also not developed very well although the dialogue is very funny sometimes. Banderas and Harrelsn did a good job with what they had, but a lot of what happens between them was sort of predictable. Despite the flaws, this film had some good comedic moments that I enjoyed watching although a lot of it was bickering. And when the final fight starts you sort of care about it since the audience gets to know a bit about there background and it's also entertaining to watch even though the character development isn't strong as it should be, the fight however was well choreographed. There seems to be a lot of critics that are really bashing on this film, but I liked it. It was entertaining despite the flaws, it was entertaining and funny.7.5/10

If you like Woody, Tom, Antonio or Lucy, and like comedies, this movie is worth the watch. It was not in Oscar contention, by any stretch, but then again, neither are many good movies. This is one of those movies that is perfect on a Sunday afternoon, when you just want to be entertained by someone else's life. The pancake scene is just plain funny. The characters are believable, and you find yourself sometimes relating their actions to people you may have known personally. Having been around boxers a lot growing up, this movie has enough realism from that world to be believable.All in all, it's a generally funny movie, and a feel good buddy road flick.
