This is one of my favorite sporting films of all time. Simply because it doesn't try to go over board with fighting, or make this out to be simple boxing movie with no plot.
Play it to the Bone, is about two best friends, who happen to be two boxers who once were great fighters and potential contenders for the title shot.
As luck would have it, the two friends get a chance to face each other and fight not only for some money, which they both need as both of them are pretty broke, but also the winner gets a title shot.
This film is about friendship, courage and one's faith in himself more then it is about sports or boxing. Now, don't get me wrong it has some nice boxing scenes and both Woody Harrelson and Antonio Banderas do an excellent job as boxers, and friends and have really great chemistry together. The two are also very good at comical moments and know how to be funny, which gives this film some needed laughs and makes it that much more enjoyable.
I would definitely recommended this film to any one and every one, who likes comedies, actions, sports, drama or simply feel good movies.
