While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.

30 for 30: Chasing Tyson (2015)*** 1/2 (out of 4)Good documentary covering the career of Evander Holyfield and why no one ever paid him too much attention or gave him the credit he deserved until he could line up a match with Mike Tyson. The documentary covers Holyfield's days of trying to get a fight with Tyson and how it was put on hold for several years due to Tyson's rape conviction.The film doesn't use a bunch of talking heads to tell its story but instead we get archival interviews that were done as all this stuff was going on. As you'd expect there's a bunch of video footage of fights Holyfield had in his early days and these are certainly fun to watch. It's even more fun to watch the interviews where people were constantly questioning Holyfield and even up to the infamous rematch and Tyson losing it in the ring.There's no question that this is a highly entertaining look at Holyfield's career but it's also a bit ironic that this heavyweight champion is still remembered for what Tyson did to his ear.

I really enjoy most of the 30 for 30 films because they do a good job of not just using archival footage and canned interviews.. this one was all archival footage, and only 3 people were interviewed: Tyson, Holyfield and Jim Gray. How do you not interview Don King, Shelly Finkel (managed both Tyson and Holyfield) for this documentary?I would skip it just not worth the time you would be better off just you tubing old fights of Tyson and Holyfield. It felt like the Director knew he had a deadline and just phoned it in.Why wouldn't you interview the management or trainers, they are the ones with all the insight.SMH
