Editorial Reviews

He doesn´t just beat his opponents, he creams them! Young milkman and amateur boxer "Calcium Kid" Jimmy (Bloom) is just as stunned as the rest of the boxing world when, through an unusual (to say the least) sequence of events, he´s offered the opportunity to fight the world champion in his home town. Jimmy´s got a lotta bottle and he´s going to need it too!

4.0 out of 5 stars One of the only comedies I'm proud to own, February 3, 2007
This review is from: The Calcium Kid [Region 2] (DVD)
I'm not a huge comedy fan myself, so I was kind of iffy about buying this movie. I was pleasantly surprised. It was a cute movie, yes I admit I am an Orlando Bloom fan, but still. It was a cute, feel-good movie. It got a little slow a few times, which is why it only gets 4 stars with me, but all in all it is a great movie.

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly good comedy!, March 26, 2008

This review is from: The Calcium Kid (Puños De Calcio) [NTSC/REGION 1 & 4 DVD. Import-Latin America] (DVD)
Orlando Bloom does his best acting in a tiny, poorly funded movie from his home country. Bloom is a down on his luck milk delivery boy, who works out at a gym. Because he drinks so much milk, his bones are rock-solid, and he ends up being pushed into being a boxer!

Bloom is completely believable as a young man out of his element, surrounded by false friends, and bewildered by fame. He should do more movies like this one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Unexpectedly funny, March 20, 2006

This review is from: The Calcium Kid [Region 2] (DVD)
I've been seeing this movie's title in DVD shops around the city but didn't think much of it, expecting it to be some random B-movie. Surprise, surprise. It turned out to be an interesting and really, really funny piece of work. Shot somewhat like a documentary, it chronicles the days leading up to a legendary boxing match between a boy-next-door-like milkman (Orlando Bloom as Jimmy Connelly) and a major boxing champ. The things Jimmy goes through in a few short days are funny, unfortunate, and quite a treat to watch. The dialogue is snappy, there's quite a handful of laugh-out-loud moments, and the ending's pretty good, and definitely not what you might expect from a plot that swirls around a David and Goliath-like bout.
