This is a good but quirky look into the world of professional wrestling. Being a die-hard wrestling fan, I loved this movie and fount it very funny and very entertaining. All wrestling fans should watch this to see all of their WCW favorites together having fun.

4/5 BRAINLESS FUN WITH THE GUYS FROM WCW

READY TO RUMBLE

This one is obviously for wrestling fans only really and even then you have to have no expectations to like this one. Fortunately for me I enjoy pointless stupid fun and this my friends is one of those. This movie came out at a time when wrestling was at an all time high but the company that the film featured was starting to go into an all time low. In fact not to long after this WCW shut its doors when they sold to the WWF/E. Of course this is every wrestling fan boy's dream right here, meet your hero and help him or her on their path to redemption. In fact that is the exact plot line for this movie.

The film follows two best buds Gordie and Sean as they fantasize about their favorite sport, professional wrestling. Gordie and Sean set out one day to WCW Monday Night Nitro and could not be any happier; after all they are getting to see their favorite wrestler Jimmy King. Things turn ugly though when a plot devised by wrestling promoter Titus Sinclair and wrestler Diamond Dallas Page comes into play to dethrone the king and end his career. The boys watch as their idol 8is basically destroyed right I the middle of the ring as multiple wrestlers help to put him out of commission. From here they decide it is up to them to bring him back and get him back in the game. They learn that their idol is not all that he seemed and after disappointment finally sets in the must still come together to right the wrong, and put the king back on top while also reaching their full potential.

Now this movie was never going to win any academy awards but it is a very fun movie if you go into it with absolutely no expectations. From the zany moments involving the wrestlers to the downright corny moments with the boys this is just stupid fun. Writer Steven Brill must have went into this just wanting to have fun because this movie is truly over the top and truly entertaining. Director Brian Robbins must have had the same mind set or maybe I am just hoping that they purposely made this film this way. Either way I had a great time watching this from the moment it came out all the way to now.

Now as far as the cast goes they all basically just have fun with this one and play it over the top. David Arquette is so over the top and excellent in this as Gordie, honestly he gives one of my favorite performances on the film. His dream sequence in the beginning with "Macho Man" Randy Savage and the clerk is one of the funniest things I have ever seen. Although I was not a big fan of him actually winning the WCW title in real life just to promote the movie, but from what wrestlers have said that worked there at the time it seems that he didn't want to do it and showed the proper respect to the actual wrestlers. Scott Caan is a little less over the top as Sean but is still just as fun as is Chris Owen, but that dude is mad funny in this. Oliver Platt as always is great in this movie as down in the dumps wrestler Jimmy King, in fact he is one of the few people who actually seem real in this movie. Rose McGowan is good in this as well as the backstabbing bimbo that tries to trick the guys, and Richard Lineback is hilarious as Gordie's dad. Joe Pantoliano is excellent as the evil promoter that screws over the King, possibly the best performance on the movie.

Of course all the wrestlers do their thing on this movie particularly DDP who plays this role real, he is playing himself of course. Also here is Randy Savage, Bam Bam Bigelow, Goldberg, Curt Henning, Sting, Gorgeous George, Juventud Guerrera, Van Hammer, Prince Iaukea, Disco Inferno, Billy Kidman, Konnan, Rey Mysterio Jr, Saturn, Booker T, Sid Vicious, as well as the Nitro girls and all the ring side commentators.

This is a fun movie even though it is way over the top and kinda stupid, but hey don't we need that some time. Go into this with no expectations and you will have fun and have a good time. If you are a wrestling fan you will like this and if you are a WCW fan you will definitely like this. Now go and have fun with this brainless movie, you will enjoy.
