Against the Ropes

As Jackie Kallen, a real-life professional boxing manager, Meg Ryan sashays through Against the Ropes in outfits that appear to have been lifted from Erin
Brockovich
. Even her high heels are tight. If Brockovich is the role model, Against the
Ropes
falls far short. Both are about sexy, sassy women who make waves in a man’s world, but
Brockovich was deft and knowing where Ropes is heavy-handed and obvious.
