The Hammer is a 2007 American comedy film starring Adam Carolla and Heather Juergensen. It was directed by Charles Herman-Wurmfeld. Carolla plays a once-promising boxer, now a middle-aged construction worker, who attempts to join the U.S. Olympic boxing team.

Production

Ferro's life is based on Adam Carolla's real experiences as a construction worker and boxing coach in L.A. The Hammer was conceived by Carolla and writer Kevin Hench. It was directed by Charles Herman-Wurmfeld and independently produced by Eden Wurmfeld, reuniting the team that created the 2001 independent hit, Kissing Jessica Stein. Filming was completed in late July 2006.

On the DVD commentary track, Carolla states that one of his favorite films is Albert Brooks' Defending Your Life (1991), and that with The Hammer he wanted to capture a similar message of not limiting one's life due to fears.
