The idea ofCharlie DayandIce Cubefighting is inherently kind of funny, which is probably a big reason the film got greenlit and definitely why that gimmick emerged as the crux of the firstFist Fighttrailers. What those green band trailers didn’t capture is the depraved and slightly deranged tone that runs as an undercurrent to the whole set up. Thankfully, there’s a new red-band trailer to help clear that up…. and drop just so many F-bombs.
The new 21 Laps Entertainment comedy fromIt’s Always Sunny in PhiladelphiadirectorRichie Keenis taking a cue fromSunnyand embracing a bit of degenerate spirit, which definitely helps make the whole “grown men fighting in a school yard like children” concept a bit more appealing. See, they’re not trading blows in any school yard, this is one where the kids hack classroom the classroom to play porn and the guidance counselor knows a bad batch of meth when she sees one. Which leads us to the next major selling point–Jillian Bell, who anyWorkaholicsfan will tell you is a comedy beast, and she gets the best joke of the trailer. Alright,Fist Fight. You had my curiosity, but now you have my attention.

Here’s the officialFist Fightsynopsis:
On the last day of the year, mild-mannered high school English teacher Andy Campbell (Day) is trying his best to keep it together amidst senior pranks, a dysfunctional administration and budget cuts that put jobs on the line. But things go from bad to worse when he accidentally crosses his much tougher and deeply feared colleague, Ron Strickland (Ice Cube), who challenges Campbell to an old-fashioned throw down after school. News of the fight spreads like wildfire and ends up becoming the very thing this school, and Campbell, needed.
