Knucklehead - Testa di cavolo

I wasn't expecting much from this movie a typical comedy with a famous wrestling star. It Felt like a remake Nacho Libre. What did surprise me was The Big Shows performance, His emotions in it really felt sincere this chap CAN actually act in fact i would go as far as saying he would make a better actor than one of his wrestling performance acts. its not a side splitting movie but does have its moments. In all, The actors did a good job, The cast was good. The comedy was funny in parts, the story wasn't anything new though. in all a well acted fun family movie not just aimed at wrestling fans as in fact there is not actually a lot of wrestling in it which i am actually glad of as when there was wrestling scenes it was the poorest performance of acting in the movie. You certainly wouldn't think of big show as a professional wrestler, yes the scenes were that bad!. Move over Mr Dwayne Johnson (The Rock) there's a new wrestling actor in town.

I would rate @ 6.5

I had the privilege, no the honor of meeting the Big Show (Mark Wright) in Dayton, Ohio. He was just as funny in person as he was in this movie, Knucklehead. I do not know if the Big Show, Mark Wright, will read this review or not. Brother you hit a home run with this movie. When you were on SNL (Saturday Night Live) with the Rock (Dwayne Johnson) way back in 2000. You stole the show while the Rock sang the song. The Giant, Big Show, Paul Wight's performance as Captain Insano in the comedy "The Waterboy" ruled. We all have seen other WWE movies that stared WWE talent. I feel that the WWE needs to take a good hard look at Paul Wright as a comedy actor. I m not joking my sides are still hurting from laughing at the bus scene and that stupid side car. I cant wait till my son sees this movie. Then I can look at him and say I met him, Paul Wright. In fact Daddy lost a bet with him and got stuck with Paul's food bill at the "WINGS" place. I wont promote the national wing chain. This movie shows that WWE can not only put on a family show but now they have made a awesome comedy that they can be proud of! Thanks for the laughter

I just finished watching Knucklehead and I absolutely loved it. It is hilarious most of the time and very sad at times, and I really love the funny and sad twists. I was expecting it to be just another time-wasting movie that will depend entirely on its main actor's fame, but it definitely surpassed my expectations.

All the actors in the movie were great. Mark Feuerstein and Merola Hardin really hit the spot and play their characters perfectly, and so did all the other actors in the movie.

Paul Wight "The Big Show" surprisingly is a brilliant actor. He is hilarious and portrays his character's emotions flawlessly. I'd go as much as saying he's a much better actor than he is a wrestler.

Critics and people who are into movies like The Godfather should avoid this movie and not start criticizing and nominating it for worst movie in history as this is just a comedy for the family.

So buy/rent it for the weekend, sit on the couch with your family, get your pop corn ready, and prepare to start laughing at a giant acting like a 12 year old!

Gotta love Knucklehead!

It may not be too original, but it's been a long time since I have seen a movie this well acted and clean. The Big Show can actually act. The man has some serious acting chops, exhibiting a range of emotion not required in hardcore action movies.

The movie screams corny when you read the plot of the movie and realize what company is behind it, but it isn't. WWE finally made a pretty good movie. Even the sound was unusually crisp and reminded me just how good my home theater system can make a movie sound.

This movie is in the tradition of the best Disney movies. Disney should make movie this good and of this quality, but they don't do it anymore.

If this crew gets together again and makes another movie, me and mine will be right there waiting.

Good job, Mr Wright.

Knucklehead, released in 2010, is a movie that fails to deliver on almost every front. From its uninspired plot to its lackluster performances, the movie is a forgettable and disappointing experience.

One of the major drawbacks of Knucklehead is its clichéd and predictable storyline. The movie revolves around a gentle giant named Eddie Sullivan, played by professional wrestler Paul Wight, who finds himself in a series of wacky misadventures as he tries to raise money for an orphanage.

The plot is formulaic, relying heavily on tired tropes and slapstick humor that have been done to death in countless other comedies. There's nothing fresh or original about the story, making it difficult to become emotionally invested or entertained.

The performances in Knucklehead are equally underwhelming. Paul Wight, despite his impressive physical stature, lacks the charisma and acting skills necessary to carry a film. His portrayal of Eddie Sullivan feels forced and unnatural, failing to evoke any genuine emotions from the audience. The supporting cast, including the likes of Wendie Malick and Mark Feuerstein, also deliver lackluster performances, further contributing to the movie's overall mediocrity.

Moreover, the humor in Knucklehead falls flat. The jokes are often juvenile and rely on tired slapstick gags and physical comedy. The attempts at humor feel forced and predictable, failing to generate genuine laughs. The movie's tone oscillates between being lighthearted and emotionally poignant, but the transitions are jarring and poorly executed, leaving the audience unsure of how to feel.

Another glaring issue with Knucklehead is its lack of character development. The movie introduces a multitude of side characters, including a love interest for Eddie, but fails to give them any depth or meaningful arcs. They exist solely to serve as plot devices or sources of comic relief, further contributing to the movie's overall lack of substance.

Knucklehead also attempts to make bullying appear humorous, but ultimately fails in its execution. Rather than addressing the serious issue of bullying with sensitivity and empathy, the movie resorts to using it as a cheap source of comedy. The protagonist, Eddie Sullivan, is repeatedly subjected to ridicule, humiliation, and physical abuse, which is presented as a source of entertainment for the audience. This misguided approach not only trivializes the harmful effects of bullying but also sends a disturbing message that such behavior can be laughed off or dismissed. By attempting to find humor in bullying, Knucklehead perpetuates a harmful and insensitive narrative, undermining any potential for meaningful storytelling or positive social commentary.

From a technical standpoint, Knucklehead is unremarkable. The cinematography is unimpressive, lacking any standout visual moments. The editing is choppy and disjointed at times, hindering the flow of the narrative. The soundtrack is forgettable and fails to enhance the viewing experience.

In conclusion, Knucklehead is a forgettable and uninspired movie. Its clichéd plot, lackluster performances, and unfunny humor make it a disappointing viewing experience. There are far better comedy films available that offer more originality and entertainment value.
