"This is a great, light-hearted comedy about an 40 year old, under-achieving carpenter who doesn't exactly love his job or his boss. Although he's hung up his competitive boxing gloves, he still works out at a local gym where he's also a part-time instructor. As timing would have it, he earns a chance to train for the upcoming Olympics. Along the way, with his trusted sidekick at the ready, he meets a potential love interest and also strikes up a friendship with the most unlikely candidate. A young, up-and-coming boxer that initially disapproves of the older pugilist eventually becomes his ally. This is a coming of age story that will have you rooting for his success, no matter how high the odds are stacked against him."
