      Audience Member saw it as a kid and loved it Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Familiar duo of Knotts and Conway make a decent comedy team again as a boxer-trainer combo who unknowingly are having their fights fixed. Many laughs attempted with Mama, all are regretable. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Familiar duo of Knotts and Conway make a decent comedy team again as a boxer-trainer combo who unknowingly are having their fights fixed. Many laughs attempted with Mama, all are regretable. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Strictly lightweight comedy as boxer/manager team earns a title bout, unaware their victories have been fixed by a shady promoter. Some good slapstick by Knotts & Conway often derailed by the unfortunate 'Mama' character. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Still loves me some Conway and Knotts... but this one only had a few laughs worth the rental. Oh well. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member :fresh: [CENTER]Tim Conway has surprisingly good fighting skills.[/CENTER] Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
