Bleed For This 0.45 Based on a true story, boxer Vinny Paz (aka The Pazmanian Devil) has the world at his feet. 0.57 “I pinky swear to make the funniest film of the year!” Watch the trailer Why Him? Of all the blokes she could have chosen... Brought to you from the director of I Love You, Man and Along Came Polly, this hilarious comedy sees uptight dad Ned Fleming (Breaking Bad’s Bryan Cranston) losing the plot when daughter Stephanie (Zoey Deutch – Everybody Wants Some!!) introduces him to her new boyfriend. Her fella of choice is James Franco’s Laird Mayhew, an oddball internet billionaire who, to quote Stephanie, “has literally no filter”, but is “a really good guy”. Laird swears a lot, talks candidly about his and 26 DEC Stephanie’s sex life in front of Ned and his wife Barb (Megan Mullally – Karen Walker from Will & Grace) and has absolutely no sense of personal space (“My instinct is to hug you right now!”). And these are – by some distance – his less annoying habits! When the nonetheless likeable Laird asks Ned for his blessing to marry Stephanie, therefore, Ned refuses outright. But Laird is determined to win over his potential father-in-law by hook or by crook. Will he succeed in his seemingly impossible mission? Book your ticket now to find out. But then he breaks his neck in a nasty car accident. 1.10 The doctors say he’ll not only never fight again, he’s unlikely to be able to walk again... 2.06 ...but Vinny is determined to get back in the ring and begins a punishing training regime!
