“Bar Fight!” is so low-stakes and small-scale that at times it feels more like a TV sitcom pilot than a film. But this would be a pilot worthy of a pickup.

It mostly seems as though someone came up with the concept while out drinking with buddies of their own. But “Hey, wouldn’t this make a great movie” ideas often look better on a napkin than a screen.

Bar Fight! wants to be the best night out of your life, but – mistaking dodgy drunken acting for ambience – it feels pretty ersatz throughout, like one of those pseudo-Irish bars that has bought in all its decor.

This is a rote relationship comedy (if the latter word even applies) that goes down like the nastiest, cheapest brew you can imagine.

Bar Fight! somehow accomplishes the nearly impossible task of remaining entirely unfunny for its whole 84-minute runtime.

Unfortunately, nothing works here. The characters don’t make sense. The emotional arc is minimal and poorly executed. The pathos falls flat. The "jokes" seem uninterested in themselves.

Great RomCom. A must see. Throw back to how they used to make movies.

Compelling lead in. Likable characters. Good friction plot. Kept me watching to see where it was going. Slight slow down but ending was real. Music was fun and engaging. Two thumbs up !
