The film is an electrifying true story about an unknown actor with an unshakable belief that he wasn't just meant to write Rocky - he was meant to be Rocky Balboa. Told "no" at every turn, Sylvester Stallone bets everything on himself, holding the line on playing the lead against seemingly impossible odds. The result is the ultimate underdog story behind the ultimate underdog movie.
Release: November, 2026

I Play Rocky First Reviews: An Inspirational Crowd-Pleaser Led by a Magnetic Anthony Ippolito
Critics at TIFF say Peter Farrelly's biopic is almost as uplifting as its inspiration, with fantastic performances and a sentimental heart, even if the script isn't particularly inventive.
Does it meet expectations?
I Play Rocky is an absolute winner.
– Christopher Schobert, The Film Stage
It’s one of my favorite films of the year… I truly never wanted this film to end.
– Joey Magidson, Awards Radar
It’s easily one of the year’s best movies to date.
– George Bate, Screen Rant
I Play Rocky looks like it was a movie made just for me… This turned out to be accurate.
– Mike Ryan, The Hard Pass
I’m just as surprised as you that I loved I Play Rocky.
– Lauren Bradshaw, Fangirl Freakout
I went into this with low expectations, but I Play Rocky blew the roof off; it’s so good.
– Travis Hopson, Punch Drunk Critics
I must admit that I was wary… I shouldn’t have worried, though, as I Play Rocky was a knockout.
– Chris Bumbray, JoBlo’s Movie Network
Farrelly’s stylistic, crowd-pleasing homage only works because the bones of what he is reassembling are naturally strong. That reality is a credit to Stallone’s hard work all those decades ago.
– Robert Daniels, Screen International
Disappointment is felt right from the opening moments.
– Chase Hutchinson, TheWrap
