I can sum up why i wont see this flick in two words


Usher Raymond. Wish they would have gotten Anthony Mackie, or Columbus Short, or freaking anyone that is an actor, and I saw somewhere Pink is going to have a role in a feature film. Keep these lousy pop stars out of movies, their just there to rake in the bucks and as far as I'm concerned offer absolutely no creative structure to the movies they are ruining.

Yeah hope it isn't true Usher is only 5'7 and Sugar Ray is 5'10 it would make no sense to cast him in anything important with the acting career he has had so far.....Again gonna throw Donald Glover in the mix, he has sorta the same looks same hight and oh he's an actor.

I hope they keep most of the SRL scenes in the ring. I've never seen Usher act so i don't know how he'll portray Sugar Ray.

The only thing i can see benefit having Usher is perhaps his footwork. He can dance, so perhaps he'll be quick on the feet like Leonard was. We can only hope.

I can assure you you WILL watch this film.

Usher is a decent vocalist but he's an awful actor. However, he is taking this role very seriously and has taken acting classes to improve (the result in that is his acting in the Climax video), and has lost a decent amount of weight to look like Leonard. The cast is great, so I'm sure it'll do fine.
Also he only has a supporting role in it.
