Starring television and radio personality Adam Carolla (The Man Show, The Adam Carolla Show), THE HAMMER highlights the dreams of an ordinary working man who aches to abandon his boring life for the chance of a lifetime – to become a contender for the U.S. Olympic Boxing team.
Hailed as “hilarious” (Howard Stern) and “pure comic gold” (Village Voice), THE HAMMER features hard-hitting performances from Heather Juergensen (Kissing Jessica Stein), Constance Zimmer (“Entourage”) and Oswaldo Castillo, a regular on Carolla’s daily radio program, in his feature film debut.
Synopsis
Jerry Ferro’s life is brought into focus on his 40th birthday and it’s not a pretty picture. A once-promising amateur boxer – who quit so he wouldn’t risk his perfect record of underachievement – Jerry has been knocking around from one job to another and spinning his wheels in an unsatisfying relationship. After sparring with an up-and-coming pro and throwing him a one-punch knockdown, Jerry reluctantly steps into the ring and despite an ass-kicking, decides it’s time to make his return to competitive boxing and go for Olympic gold!
