A Wrestling Christmas Miracle

I am a self-created expert on terrible films. After reading the funny book "The 50 Worst Films of All Time", I decided to see all 50 and review them. Then, wanting to see more dreck, I saw nearly all of the Bottom 100 on IMDB...and many hundreds more awful films. I mention this because I'd place "A Wrestling Christmas Miracle" near the bottom of all these terrible films...it's that bad.

The project was apparently the brainchild of Ken Del Vecchio, who apparently was behind quite a few other films...including a film which is almost a prequel to this film, "A Karate Christmas Miracle". It has a score of 1.8 on IMDB...even lower than the 2.2 for this film. The boy who plays the lead is Mario Del Vecchio, who is probably Ken's son...though I wasn't able to figure out their exact relationship. But since the boy is only 11 in this film, I won't criticize his acting, as it would seem cruel.

This is the insane plot: Kace (Mario) is an athlete who is amazing at wrestling and football. His father is an Olympic champion who won't be home for Christmas because he's due to wrestle an elephant and a giraffe in the Congo. But he really is going there to lead a coup. As for Kace, he's given up sports to devote all his time to making a movie which will be so funny and wonderful that it will awaken his best friend who is in a coma. But an idiot and his even dumber girlfriend (who were in the movie) have stolen the only copy of the movie and want a million dollars or they'll sell it to some sleazy filmmaker. Also, at times, the film is a film within a film, with a large list of Z-list actors in it, including Todd Bridges (Willis from "Different Strokes"), Jimmy Walker (the guy from "Good Times", not the dead ex-mayor of NY), Gilbert Gottfried (the annoying voice of that duck from insurance ads) and Michael Winslow (the man who makes goofy sounds in the "Police Academy" movies).

Does any of the story make sense or make you laugh? No. Instead, it honestly looks like a vanity project some friends made, though how they got the Z-listers in it, I have no idea (perhaps they offered them a free lunch). All I know it that it is unfunny and bad...jaw-droppingly bad. But considering how few people have seen it, I strongly doubt if it could ever make it to the IMDB Bottom 100, as they require 10000 votes first...and this one falls far short. Overall, a film bad enough to challenge the "Fred" movies for a spot on anyone's list of terrible movies.

I don't even know where to begin with for this movie...?

Mainly it was just a bunch of random segments trying to tie together to one cohisive story that really made no sense at all...!

The best I could gather from the story: it's about a junior wrestler who gives up the sport to make a movie he hopes will wake up his comatose friend for Christmas, with the help from his father who is an Olympian wrestler with a strange side career himself - and that's how I can describe it to the best of my ability.

To call it a movie is a bit of a stretch - I would rather describe it as a fever dream that had somewhat of a concept behind it.

What a waste of tine. Bad writing. Bad Acting, bad directing, and bad editing. Makes me feel sorry for all the bad has been actors in it.

Anyone can see those who made the movie are trying to inflate the rating with 10/10. This is insulting in the first few minutes towards those with autism, the blind and the hard of hearing. As the movie goes on it becomes increasingly raciest, and a collection of ignorant voices/accents.

This movie makes me physically ill. It's not funny, it's not heartwarming, it's nothing but uncomfortable. If you want a movie that's so bad it's good... avoid this. It's just bad. Very very bad.

Great Movie, Great Actors, Great everything. I am a huge fan of Mario and his Family. Cant wait for the next installment.
