	Author	Review
United States	Scott Bowles USA Today	"'Grudge' could have saved itself with a rousing finale, but the buildup is so tedious you just want the fight to end. (...) Rating: ★½ (out of four)"	NEG
United States	Andrew Barker Variety	"The result is sporadically amusing, with some chucklesome sight gags and crowdpleasing supporting turns from Alan Arkin and Kevin Hart, yet it’s all so overcooked that it defeats its own purpose."	NEU
United States	John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"The movie only wakes up when Hart and/or Arkin are on screen (preferably together)."	NEG
United States	Stephen Holden The New York Times	"[An] overlong, drab, not-so-funny sports comedy."	NEG
United States	Peter Hartlaub SFGATE	"'Grudge Match' at its core is an affront to the cinema gods, an attempt to capitalize off two iconic films for a few cheap laughs."	NEG
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"Watching De Niro and Stallone piss all over their most iconic roles provides no pleasure. It made me feel – Sad. Sad. Sad. (...) Rating: ★ (out of four)"	NEG
