The Hammer - 8/10
A solid movie, considering I've always found Adam's tv personality to be a bit stiff. It's full of Adam-esque rants and social commentary, so fans of Adam will no doubt love the movie. It can get kinda formulaic, but not to the point of being trite and stale. I was really impressed to see him hitting focus pads and skipping rope so well! The rest of the cast is pretty solid, with a very charismatic foil in Harold's "Robert," and Adam's Nicaraguan buddy Ozzy. It's part love story, part buddy movie, part "underachiever achieving" (kinda like Cinderalla Man but with a schlub from the Valley). If it happens to play near you, I'd definitely recommend seeing it.
