Dumbbells

This movie follows an arrogant basketball star who's career was once promising but cut short by an injury. The movie starts out slow and never really takes off. You get introduced to a stereotypical group of characters. All more annoying than the next. This movie uses middle school humor to try and pull laughs. I felt like a 14 year old in middle school all over again. You'll notice the emphasis on "urban" humor. There's emphasis on "bitchez" (with a z)and countless sex jokes. There is no real storyline here. Though, just when you feel like one is gonna begin, the movies ends. I would recommend not watching this unless, you wanna laugh at the movie and not the jokes themselves.

Don't sell this movie short. It is much better that you might think. Full of clichés but presented in a very effective way that it is more entertaining than they would otherwise be. A tired overused storyline comes across fresh and is careful to not be overdone. Acting is more than credible. Casting is good. Taylor Cole is excellent in a supporting role early in her career before she became a mainstream star of multiple romantic showcases on Lifetime and Hallmark. Well worth the time to watch and be ready to be pleasantly surprised with many clever comedic elements. Bottom line is that it's good to know that camp is still good.

As a gym rat I was looking forward to Dumbbells and it did not disappoint. A lot of characters in the film were based on people I swear I know. There were numerous laugh out loud moments and that's rare in comedies today. The writers obviously know the dynamics of what happens at the gym. Hoyt Richards shines as gym owner Jack Guy. This is one of those films where it looks like the entire cast is having a blast.

There is a lot of eye candy for both women and men alike in Dumbbells. Did I mention the great cameos from Tom Arnold, Jay Mohr, Carl Reiner and even Fabio. Highly recommended!!!

I watched Dumbbells last night, this one is a successful comedy. It's not designed to have a huge story plot but it has one and its relatively simple. For what it is it's kind of over the top for children but young adults will be very amused by this movie. I wouldn't expect older generation seniors and adults to pull as much enjoyment from this movie as would say a 19 year old teen or a 22 year old young adult (me)

Brain Drolet did a good job on this movie. It's 100 minutes of fun that will probably have you laughing hysterically at the screen drooling on yourself if you have a sensitive reflex.

The mediocre reviews on this film are mediocre themselves. This film deserves a chance by any comedy lover. But be warned if your not at all into comedies you will not be into this movie at all whatsoever. It's not designed as a drama, it is a Comedy first and foremost.

The movie all surrounds a small gym where they shoot a movie and get frauded out of a ponzi scheming rich money manager. The resolution at the end of the movie is quite an ironic unexpected twist and really has a good feel.

The movies soundtrack is awesome and if you yourself go to a gym you will be staring at the screen or grabbing your Shazam enabled mobile device.

The movie is about this washed-out high school hero that ends up at a local gym. In comes a new owner that ends up in trouble. The owner is former super-model with lots under his belt.

The hero finds, somehow, comfort in an impromptu shrink meeting in the locker room, and finds himself.

The first part of the movie is not bad at all, it is fun, witty (if you go there with the right mindset), but the last 20 minutes are pretty dull and bad.

Not a bad 2 hours to spend seeing something, but don't expect anything above average.
