Undercard Review: Wanda Sykes Goes For Broke In Undercooked, Conventional Boxing Drama

I’ve been hearing a lot about Sykes’ new movie, Undercard, and how it’s her first dramatic role, but honestly, it still feels like the Sykes we all know and love. She plays Cheryl Stewart, a former boxer who’s turned her life around from alcohol abuse to becoming a coach, and the character just fits her personality – she’s always been known for that quick wit and slightly fiery energy. The dialogue isn’t overflowing with jokes like her stand-up, but it’s still sharp and to the point. She’s a fantastic actress, always has been, but she’s not completely transforming herself for this part – it’s still recognizably her.
