What critics compared Fist Fight to
The young actress gets one big scene, in which she and Day subject an elementary school talent show audience to a karaoke performance of Big Sean’s “I Don’t Fuck With You.” Through no fault of its pre-teen headliner, the scene is an absolutely lethal combination of comic desperation, shameless derivation (see: the climactic scene in 2006’s “Little Miss Sunshine”), and general mortification for all parties – moviegoers above all.
A late-breaking scene at an elementary school talent show that finds Andy’s stressed daughter surprisingly busting out an untoward rap song is also a hoot, even if it evokes a similar, kids-perform-the-darndest-things sequence from “Little Miss Sunshine.”
Young Alexa Nisenson, 11, who made her movie debut last year in Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life , plays Campbell’s daughter, who ditches Annie at the last minute for an explosively raw rap song by Big Sean that makes the talent show scene from Little Miss Sunshine look as quaint and sedate as something from Lawrence Welk .
Even the solitary laugh was like a cheap knock-off of the dancing scene in Little Miss Sunshine.
