Golden Arm

Decent watch but not that great. Can kill an hour or two with this.

Just a good good movie that benefits from being incredibly stupid when it wants to be.

Greetings from the other side. I took a chance on this movie, and it was good enough to watch once, but just barely.

The main big woman is very annoying, even when trying to be funny. Her comedy type is very much like Melissa McCarthy, who is also not funny. She has one volume level, which is "yelling", and usually contains rude or gross remarks thinking it will get a laugh.

The main thin wowan is the straight man (woman) here, and basically follows the loud-mouths lead. I guessed the ending, and you probably will as well.

There is only so much you can do with an arm wrestling movie, and if Sylvester Stalone failed attempting this, these chicks were doomed from the start.

Anyways, the movie was good enough for a single viewing when you have nothing else to watch. Sadly, I'm at the point where I think I've seen everything worth while, and many of the good movies, I've seen multiple times. I'm stuck looking for hidden gems now.

The premise of Karate Kid combined with the underdog against the bully storyline of Over the Top.

It's an ok film. Funny at times. Strange at times.

This is definitely a low brow film, and it doesn't pretend otherwise. It's also a great story about friendship and finding and then embracing who you are. It doesn't go for cheap jokes, which too many low brow comedies do. Mel and Danny bring tons of heart and we laughed out loud a lot, which for me is saying something, since I skew toward dramas. We had to look up whether women's arm wrestling championships was a real thing and it is! Now I just need to know if the strap tricks are legal... this is more than I planned to write but apparently I'm required to write 600 characters to get a review published.. Give this film a chance!
