We first saw this movie a long time ago and it has several laugh out loud moments. We then rented it again for a couple of our nephews, a few years ago, who really enjoyed it. They were at the time wrestling fans who knew wrestling was mostly fake.

Last weekend we borrowed it from a friend to watch with those same nephews from a few years ago, and we laughed all the way through it again. The boys no longer watch wrestling, said they are catching new jokes in it this time around.

The acting is over the top, and bigger than life but so is wrestling! It is a great movie if you want to escape and laugh for an hour and a half.

This was light and enjoyable film of two affable wrestling fans who want to reinstate a recently fallen hero to the top of the WCW world. I have seen funnier films, but this was not a disappointment by any means. Fans of wrestling should really enjoy it, non fans (like myself, although I think I might be becoming one) should still like it. Arquette, Caan, and Platt make a nice trio, and Martin Landau is hilarious as an old-school wrestling guru.

Even though I'm not a very big WCW fan, I still thought it had some very funny parts. The movie itself of course was a bit lame, but I guess it was made for laughs. I'm surprised they made this movie about WCW and not WWF? I mean WWF is a lot more popular than WCW. I though it would have been way better if it was based on WWF and not WCW. But everything else of the movie was decent. I'm a huge wrestling fan and I love wrestling. So whatever movie is based on wrestling, I Like! This movie deserves a B+

i just saw this film for the first time and i enjoyed it. with a cast of great actors and actresses it didnt reach my expectation, though gave me a smile at times. not a laugh a minute but the great soundtrack made up for it. i recommend it if you have nothing better to do but if you are looking for a good comedy then get the "burbs'".

This is one of the funniest movies to come along in a while, granted some of the jokes are corny and a few may go too far. If you've got a sense of humor at all and don't take it too seriously, you are going to like at least some of this movie. I have watched it a few times and every time I see, or hear something I missed before. So just relax and give it a chance, you just might find yourself laughing.
