"Grudge Match" movie quotes tell the comical tale of two aging boxers who return to the ring for their long-awaited tie breaker. Peter Segal directed the film using a screenplay by Doug Ellin, Tim Kellher and Rodney Rothman. Just in time for Christmas, "Grudge Match" opened in theaters on December 25, 2013.
In "Grudge Match," Pittsburgh boxers Henry "Razor" Sharp (Sylvester Stallone) and Billy "The Kid" McDonnen (Robert De Niro) were once the best in the world, fighting each other twice with one win under their belt each. This rivalry however ended prematurely when Razor retired before they could fight in the tie-breaker. Fast forward 30 years and the old men reunite to film footage for a boxing video game where old tensions flare.
After footage of the fight goes viral, a concept neither old men really understand, they are pushed to fight in that lost tie-breaker match by promoter Dante Slate, Jr. (Kevin Hart). Reluctantly, both agree and begin training, Razor with Louis "Lightning" Conlon (Alan Arkin) and Kid with a portly Mikey (Joey Diaz). But their age, physical condition and their loved ones including Razor's love interest Sally (Kim Basinger) and Kid's son BJ (Jon Bernthal) all put a strain on the two ancient boxers.
"Grudge Match" has stiff competition opening alongside other great 2013 movies such as "The Wolf of Wall Street, "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, "Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues" "Her," "American Hustle," "Saving Mr. Banks," August: Osage County, "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug," "Dallas Buyers Club," "Philomena, "Inside Llewyn Davis," "Out of the Furnace," "12 Years a Slave," "Frozen," "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire," "Captain Phillips," "Gravity," "Don Jon," "Rush, and "Prisoners".
