Movie Review: Fist Fight

This movie depicts one of the greatest realities of today's America in a highly comical way. Written by Van Robichaux and directed by Richie Keen, Fist Fight (2017) is easily one of the most funny movies in recent times.  I had the opportunity to watch this movie when I got stuck in a long haul flight from California to Florida. Starring Ice Cube, Charlie Day, Tracy Morgan, Jillian Bell and Christina Hendricks, this movie is a laughter riot all the way from the beginning to the end.


It is the last day of school and students are not in any mood to study, in fact they are all set and prepared to play pranks on the teachers. On the management side the school board is looking to fire a bunch of teachers in a cost cutting move. In this chaotic scenario, the English teacher Andy Campbell, married father of one and expecting another child soon, inadvertently causes the dismissal of another teacher Strickland. An enraged Strickland challenges Campbell for a fistfight after school in the parking lot.


The rest of the movie is all about Campbell's efforts to get out of the fight and also be there for his daughter during her talent show, and his wife when she gives birth to their second child. The movie is presented in a hilarious way which makes anyone laugh through the movie.


I would definitely recommend watching with family and having a great time at it.
