There’s a lot to like, but not much to love. I have never heard of Claressa Shields before, so I knew nothing of the outcome of the story, although I can guess that if they’re making a movie then she had some success.
I now this isn’t a fair comparison, but there was never a Rocky moment in the movie, even though they included a training montage of kids following her as she jogged through the neighborhood. Basically, there’s little to no drama of what’s going to happen in the ring.

The root of her struggle comes after winning a gold meddle and trying to earn a little money in advertising. I guess what’s missing for me is that I can feel her frustration and anger at the situation, but that’s about it. I was hoping for more depth.
I’m really happy to see Brian Tyree Henry in a serious role. I thought he was outstanding.
Grade: C+
About The Peetimes: I’m happy with these Peetimes. There’s a lot of drama and action that no one wants to miss.
The first Peetime is pretty good.
I recommend the second Peetime. It’s almost all a training montage.
The third Peetime has a lot of information about advertising for female athletes that you probably don’t want to miss. That’s why it’s an emergency Peetime.

about the RunPee app.

I’ve loved this app for years and use it at the theater and home. Super easy to use and so helpful to know when it’s a good time to run for the restroom. I notify my kids when it’s close to time, so I don’t end up running them to the restroom multiple times. (Updated review from 4 to 5 . I’d had an issue with the app while at the theater and it was quickly resolved with FANTASTIC customer service. Thanks, RunPee!)
