A good mainstream comedy that's better than its reputation.
Fantastica Daily
The Main Event tells a dumb and boring story about boxing. [Full Review in Spanish]

The movie just doesn't have the life, the zaniness, this kind of screwball material demands.

entertaining misfire
Shadows on the Wall
The plot is reminiscent of 1930 s comedies, but Streisand and [producer] Jon Peters have provided a handsome, up-to-date production.

Description by OLDIES.com:
A perfume magnate (Barbra Streisand), with plenty of chutzpah, falls victim to an embezzling employee who takes her for everything she owns. Well, almost everything: There is one $60,000 investment that still belongs to her -- a washed up prizefighter (Ryan O'Neal) with a sore paw, whose talents had been purchased as a tax write-off. Seeing him as her only chance to recoup some of her former wealth, she decides to manage the mild-mannered boxer's career herself. Can she stimulate a return to championship form?
