This one probably never could have been a contender.
Laremy Legel, Film.com
Rotten
Pleasant but underwhelming, it feels like something that belongs on the undercard, never reaching the heights of a main event.
Mark Olsen, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
"Grudge Match" at its core is an affront to the cinema gods, an attempt to capitalize off two iconic films for a few cheap laughs.
Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle
Rotten
The jokes are clumsy, the dramatic scenes stale and lifeless; like the climactic bout, the movie itself is a freak show, a fantasy matchup between two icons with nothing better to do than spend down their legacies.
J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader
