In anticipation for the upcoming "Grudge Match," Warner Bros. has released a new featurette entitled "How to Promote a Fight With Impresario Dante Slate Jr."
The featurette starts off with an image of Kevin Hart's Dante staring at the camera and talking directly to the viewer. A voice off-screen interjects and asks him to look away from the camera.
"I don't know man. I think it's a lot better when I'm connecting straight with the people," says Hart.
The remainder of the featurette places an emphasis on Hart's character with a tremendous amount of scenes that showcase his comic timing.
Early reviews for the film have been split with the film earning a 33 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Out of just nine reviews, three have been positive and six have not been as complimentary.
Bill Clark of FromTheBalcony has been one of the supporters of "Grudge Match" and wrote, "Thanks to a stellar cast and some great one-liners, Grudge Match is a funny, albeit completely disposable, time at the movies."
Katherine Monk of Canada.com added, "Long brewing in the aluminum urn of Hollywood's caffeine truck, comes a great -- but over-steeped -- idea poured into a cardboard cup of story."
David Medsker of Bullz-Eye.com also wrote a positive review and noted, "'Grudge Match' is funny, at times explosively so, but also uneven and flawed."
The film stars Robert De Niro, Sylvester Stallone, Hart, Kim Basinger and Alan Arkin. Peter Segal directed a script by Tim Kelleher and Rodney Rohman.
The film is slated for release on Dec. 25, 2013.
