Oh hi,

This week on Filmsack we come out of our respective corners swinging wildly at every streaming service  imaginable for this 2015 boxing film that asks the question “who’s your daddy?” oh…we know that part? It’s in the title….oh ok..in that case..who’s your momma? She dead…Backup momma? Theo’s mom from the Cosby show? Alright!! Then I need to ask you to not make any of the love interests have that “Denise Huxtable vibe” or I’m going to be distracted the whole movie…damnit.. Now, who’s your uncle? alright! Let’s get ready to Mumble.

Anywho,  This is a story all about how, My life got flipped-turned upside down…wait a minute
In Los Angeles born and raised, Boxing Down in Mexico was where I spent most of my days

Hold on…hold on I think I picked up someone else’s show notes by accident.

Let’s see…

Now, I got into 15 little fights and my backup mom got silly
She said, (read in Tina’s Voice) “You’re movin’ in with your girlfriend and unc in Philly” oh ok…yeah yeah…I see what I did now. Ibbott was going to do a reverse Fresh Prince and I beat him to the punch. Boom Uppercut…I just want to thank my mom and …

Randy, undo these gloves…my tum tum hurts…I SAID TAKE THEM OFF… I GOT THE STRESS POOPS!

BRIEF

Adonis Johnson (Michael B. Jordan) never knew his famous father, boxing champion Apollo Creed, who died before Adonis was born. However, boxing is in his blood, so he seeks out Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone) and asks the retired champ to be his trainer. Rocky sees much of Apollo in Adonis, and agrees to mentor him, even as he battles an opponent deadlier than any in the ring. With Rocky’s help, Adonis soon gets a title shot, but whether he has the true heart of a fighter remains to be seen.

Rated : PG-13

Creed (2015) – Like chasing chickens in an old man’s back yard after you ask him to train you to box. At best you just proved yourself, at worst you misunderstood the assignment. #nococksonlychickens
