08/04/2015 It's a hillbilly Rocky. See more 05/13/2014 This one's disappointing. It has everything going for it ... Dennis Quaid, Pam Grier, Warren Oates (in his final role), Wilford Brimley, Richard Fleisher directing ... and it's about country music and fighting and opens with a wet t shirt contest. It manages to do next to nothing with all this. It's all centered around the fighting and the fighting just isn't very good.

His music fortunes could be better guided by avoiding taking the stage after wet t-shirt contests; that and maybe a more dynamic name than Art Long. There are moments that work here. Quaid, to his credit, sings a number of songs in the film. Sadly, this was Warren Oates last film. Film was released against RETURN OF THE JEDI, and thus was largely forgotten.

See, preliminaries were tonight, and the finals are tomorrow night."</b></i> Meet Art Long. He was a family man, a singer, and unemployed...and about to become the toughest man in America. All he has to do to get everything he wants is knock down five different guys in one night as part of the televised Toughman Contest that would win him prize money and the chance to appear on national television. But is he tough enough for the challenge? Released on May 20, 1983, <i>Tough Enough</i> was one of the many little-seen movies that appeal to me even though I was only born four years after its release, therefore making one of the few youngest people knowing this one. But with a real good western theme and an appearance by Dennis Quaid who is one of my favorite actors, it is a movie that I couldn't ignore, since it was the latter that contributed to my viewing interest. The storyline here is action-packed for its fights, dramatic for surviving its struggles, and romantic for the relationship between the boxer and his wife. Quaid does his leading character as a skillful fighter with natural abilities as well as an artist with a voice that he was very impressive in his acting performance. <div style="width:345px;"><a href="http://www.flixster.com/photos/tough-enough-12243237"><img src="http://content7.flixster.com/photo/12/24/32/12243237_gal.jpg" border="0"/></a><div style="text-align:center;font-size:10px;"><a href="http://www.flixster.com">Flixster</a> - Share Movies</div></div> Overall, I can say that <i>Tough Enough</i> is tough enough to be a <i>Rocky</i> clone but without rules and a great movie that packs a punch. I recommend it to fans of either or both sports (especially boxing) or Dennis Quaid. See more Read all reviews
