Comedic misfire from the mid-1970s in a futile attempt to bottle the same lightning that struck when Barbra Streisand teamed with Ryan O'Neal in What's Up, Doc? Here, Streisand plays a spoiled rich girl, the head of a bankrupt cosmetics company, who discovers she's lost everything--except her ownership of the contract of a washed-up boxer (O'Neal, known for his combative nature offscreen). So she tries to rally this dispirited pug into a comeback that will earn the kinds of purses that will put her back on her feet. Naturally, in the process romantic sparks are kindled. But despite a loud and energetic performance by Streisand, this Howard Zieff comedy doesn't add up to much. --Marshall Fine

Just as good a movie as it was the first time I seeen it years ago. Fun, and agood story line. Can be considered more of a chick flick like most of Striesands movies.

Enjoyed it on the Big screen years ago when it first came out. Sometimes you wish you could watch the movies you loved from the past but they are not available for your personal collection. I always liked the paring of Ryan O'Neal and Barbara Streisand since I first saw them together in "What's Up Doc" Some movies just remind you of a time in your life and gives you a chance to remember when. I'm a fan of the movie.
 Slight and forgettable but watchable enough February 9, 2008

The Main Event is a not particularly funny star vehicle reuniting Barbra Streisand and Ryan O'Neal as a broke perfume mogul and the hopeless boxer who is her sole remaining asset. It's no What's Up, Doc?, but it's pleasant enough, coasting on the stars' likeability and offering just enough funny moments for you to feel you're not entirely wasting your time. However, the vintage making of documentary on the DVD (which includes a lengthy deleted scene) really gives away how much times have changed, as O'Neal and the screenwriters make genial lighthearted jokes about wife-beating...
