The film tends to lumber along, relying way too much on "old" jokes, racial digs, and sexual comments. Improvisation was the name of the game in fleshing out Grudge Match, but the end result feels uneven and forced. After all, director Peter Segal directed comedies like Anger Management, 50 First Dates, Get Smart and The Longest Yard remake. With Stallone and De Niro at the forefront with support from another legend, Alan Arkin, and contemporary star Kevin Hart, it just seems like Grudge Match should be fun from start to finish. The concept of Grudge Match - two boxing stars who have 30 bitter years between them since their last match together (and they remain tied) - seems like a can't-miss. Still in impressive shape, the Italian Stallion returns to the ring with the 2013 sports comedy Grudge Match which pits him against 70-year-old Raging Bull star Robert De Niro. Now 67 years old, the famed actor has since released not two, but three action films containing aging action stars in The Expendables (the third is releasing this year). Sylvester Stallone has been tenaciously keeping his career alive since the sixth Rocky film released in 2006.
