A Real Boxing Satire that Pulls No Comedy Punches
23 August 2017
All I'm going say about "The Great White Hype" is that Peter Berg as "Irish" Terry Conklin is a championship comedic performance. If the sight of him entering the ring with a dancing leprechaun doesn't make you laugh out loud, you really aren't capable of appreciating what a wonderful send up this movie is. Every hilarious scene has an exact parallel to the insanity of professional boxing. No small feat to make satire out of something that is already satire.
