Bobcat Moretti

Most studio films aren't nearly as good as this gem. I was so inspired and blown away by the cast, especially relative newcomer Tim Realbuto who is giving an award winning performance in a very difficult role, and Vivica A. Fox who has never been better! What a treat! Everyone must see this one. I was lucky enough to rent it on VUDU and I'm going to buy it now so I can enjoy it again and again. It was so nice to see Coolio, Mindy Sterling and even Taryn Manning who was excellent. Do not miss this touching masterpiece. It truly is nice to see films like this being made during the strike. It's such a treat to see truly great indie filmmaking. Bravo to the entire cast, and director Rob Margolies for making something so special and memorable.

An inspiring and emotional journey as a young man discovers who he truly is and what he is capable of. Tim Realbuto's transformation is legendary and made me realize that I need to try harder (in basically all aspects of life). Incredible performances by a stellar supporting cast. Vivica A. Fox shines as the trainer, Taryn Manning and Matt Peters are sublime talents, and there's even a cameo by Coolio! Solid casting and another gem by writer/director Rob Margolies. I was lucky enough to see a screening at the Orlando Film Festival and highly recommend that you catch it any chance you get. It's going to tug on your heart strings but a little catharsis is good for your soul.

Great story about an obese man down on his luck and getting unluckier; he just found out he has multiple sclerosis. He quit his job and moves in with his brother, but life continues to go downhill. Until he walks into a gym that trains boxers. Mesmerized with the lifestyle, he gets a job there, in return for the gym owner to train him. Magically things start to get better, as Bobby starts to lose weight and gets healthier.

Tim Realbuto is phenomenal and inspirational as Bobby "Bobcat" Moretti. He actually loses over 100 pounds for the part, and the transformation is amazing. He is the underdog at the beginning of the movie and then becomes the hero. His character is extremely likable, and you want to root for him to win because he's such a hard worker and doesn't believe in giving up.

The film also stars Vivica Fox, who is powerful as the gym owner who helps Bobby in his transformation. The chemistry between the two is beautifully authentic and they become friends, and the gym becomes his home. Vivica is strong, but has empathy for Bobby and is able to push him, knowing she can help him. She owns this part!

Excellent directing by Rob Margolies, the story brings you in and keeps you riveted until the last scene. This is a feel good movie that people will want to watch again and again. The story shows that even when the chips are down, there is a way up, no matter what life throws at you. Very inspiring.

I had the pleasure of seeing Bobcat Moretti in two different great film festivals. I enjoyed it so much I seen it three times. It is so well written, Directed and performed. Each character is so layered! I enjoyed the journey of learning about them. I dont want to give anything away but can tell you, your heart strings will be tugged, you will pull for Bobcat, be inspired and be blown away by Tim Realbuto's performance!!! Every time you think how much can one person take? He takes another blow The Direction of Rob Margolies is so skillful. Love his style of story telling. So relatable with so much heart. Totally recommend this film.

Boxing movies arent all great and neither are faux inspiring movies about *insert tragic medical diagnosis* This is afterschool special stuff at best but actually feels more of a teenage girls fantastical idea than anything resembling a real story.

The dialogue is cringe-worthy.

The lead actor isnt believable as this character at any point. My grandma throws a better punch!

Overacting abounds. The characters are written as stereotypes.

Who am I supposed to root for in this film because the lead character is pathetic not inspiring! The nickname is cringeworthy and the actors sound stupid saying it

Im an excellent reviewer, not an excellent writer but I went ahead and wrote this review so there would be 1 honest review. The only thing worse than this movie are the phony reviews giving it a high rating.

Hey Ma, put the pen down, you're the only one that thinks this movie is good.
