Editorial Reviews

Dennis Quaid stars as Art Long, a Fort Worth tree trimmer by day and struggling Country singer by night. But when he enters a local Toughman Contest, he discovers that he may have a knack for knockouts. Now with the help of his street-smart corner man (Stan Shaw of SNAKE EYES) and a crafty promoter (Warren Oates in his final film role), Art is headed to the National Finals in Detroit where all he’ll have to do is beat up five guys in one night on national television to win $100,000, a recording contract, and the title of Toughest Man In America. Even if Art is crazy enough to try, will he be tough enough to win it all? Pam Grier and Wilford Brimley co-star in this wild action-comedy directed by Oscar® winner Richard Fleischer (TORA! TORA! TORA!, CONAN THE DESTROYER) and featuring songs by T.G. Sheppard, Mickey Gilley and Dennis Quaid.

This review is from: Tough Enough (DVD)

Dennis Quaid is always excellent and in this movie early in his carreer he is superb. The plot is predictable but good action.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's no Rocky!, March 19, 2001

This review is from: Tough Enough [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Tough Enough is a good movie, but lacks the stardom that the Rocky series has achieved. It is very exciting with a lot of action inside the boxing ring. I thought that the story was a very good one on how it depicts how people struggle through something to attain their primary goal. This is the basis of the story. If you don't like the boxing genre of movies you are not going to like this. Overall it is an entertaining movie with a story that everyone who has a dream can relate to.
