Undercard Ratings & Reviews
Phantom Tollbooth
Marie Asner
This gives the phrase "live and let live" new meaning.
AWFJ.org
Valerie Kalfrin
... a split decision. [Wanda] Sykes holds the screen as a former boxer turned trainer seeking connection and redemption with the son she once abandoned, but the plot occasionally gets stuck on the ropes.
Autostraddle
Rendy Jones
While Sykes gives a strong performance, Undercard's ring is overstuffed with subplot, aimless in its punches.
We Live Entertainment
Aaron Neuwirth
Sykes is clearly passionate about many things in her life, and seeing her take the opportunity to channel that into a dramatic performance rather than more stand-up material was bound to pay off. Unsurprisingly, it did.
Spectrum Culture
Ria Dhull
Multiple storylines are packed tightly into the plot, but none are given nearly enough time to develop.
Cool People Have Feelings, Too. (Substack)
Marya E. Gates
Sykes adds humor and an unexpected layer of pathos to the whole thing, while DP Ana M. Amortegui captures the vibrancy of Liberty City's lively neighborhoods with a loving touch, giving the movie a lived-in touch that elevates it above its rote trappings.
AARP Movies for Grownups
Thelma Adams
As the sports drama builds to its inevitable final bout, which delivers the requisite nail-biter scene in the ring, Undercard lionizes the underdog finding her way with abundant heart and a fire in her belly.
InSession Film
Zach Youngs
Even with these missteps in character, Undercard is a good boxing movie. Not only that, but it is a great domestic drama that uses boxing as a crucial common ground for Cheryl to try and make amends for the worst mistakes of her life.

Nicholas Bell
The irreconcilable flaw of Undercard is how its dramatic undercarriage consists almost exclusively of sports drama cliches which unfortunately cannot be ignored thanks to one-dimensional characterizations...

Joseph Robinson
Undercard never slows down - but the clichés pile up and the low-budget feel never lets you forget it.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
Strong performances fight against a pedestrian script in the latest underdog saga using boxing as a vehicle for redemption and reconciliation.
RogerEbert.com
Peyton Robinson
'Undercard' is a relationship drama disguised as a boxing film, but it doesn't succeed in either realm.
Boston Globe
Odie Henderson
It's the kind of movie my 2.5-star rating was invented for; that is, a movie that's interesting enough to put me on the ropes for several rounds before dropping its hands and getting knocked out.
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
The production limitations of Undercard kind of reflect the movie's storytelling ones.
Screen Rant
Gregory Nussen
The film's first half hits its beats fine, if without uniqueness, but the back half is packed to the gills with every requisite trope one can think of for an underdog sports film.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
"Undercard" eventually slips into "Rocky" mode, but before the expected occurs, Miller generates some involving life struggles and personal relationships to follow, helping the effort get past complete predictability.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
A gripping, tender and engrossing sports drama with heartfelt, career-best performance by Wanda Sykes.
Aisle Seat
Mike McGranaghan
Heartfelt and deeply affecting. Wanda Sykes is a revelation.
