Remember when your parents would tell you to "turn the other cheek" when a bully picks on you? Well, in this case, adulthood, for instance, has its bullies too. Two teachers duke it out in a high school parking lot on the last day of school, and things do not go well for either one.
Ice Cube (aka) not-so-Mr. Nice Guy is exactly like that one man driving in front of you at the speed of a turtle. His patience is very thin throughout the movie due to Charlie Day (aka) the world's biggest pain-in-the-ass coworker. The comedic duo here is funny, but it's not laugh till your stomach hurts, milk outta your nose type.
What Fist Fight lacks is persistency and better laughs. The film is enjoyable, however, some jokes weren't funny. They were there for a reaction.
Some of the films brightest moments involved (you said it) children. Giving that this is an R rated movie, it's got some potty-mouthed children in here to.
Not in anyway shape or form was the acting superb, but the essence of comedic pursuits is satisfying. In all fairness, if and when you watch this, don't expect lots of belly laughs. You can expect however to be entertained by this film and its diabolical humor.
