I Play Rocky
The electrifying true story about an unknown actor with an unshakable belief that he wasn't just meant to write Rocky—he was meant to be Rocky Balboa. Told "no" at every turn, Sylvester Stallone bets everything on himself, holding the line on playing the lead against seemingly impossible odds.
This is not a score. Nobody has seen the finished film. The Real Score begins at release.
Before release
Updated nightlyPeople are pretty excited for this look at Sylvester Stallone's journey to get Rocky made, with a lot of praise aimed at Anthony Ippolito's performance as the young actor. The core story of Stallone betting on himself is landing well, though there are doubts about how original this take on a Hollywood underdog story can feel. The discussion is surprisingly tough on director Peter Farrelly and a number of the supporting cast members, who aren't generating much positive buzz from what's been shown.
