A Grande Luta

This Movie is about an 11 year old boy called Leo Thompson (played by Seth Carr). He has a passion for WWE and hopes one day that he could possibly even make it and become one of its Superstars. Leo and his 2 best friends Riyaz (played by Aryan Simhadri) and Caleb (played by Glen Gordon) are not what you call "the popular kids" and do seem to catch the attention of Trevor (played by Josh Zaharia), the school bully. One of the times that Trevor is chasing Leo, Leo stumbles across an old wrestling mask like the ones worn by the Mexican Lucha Libre. This is the point things change for Leo. I do think that the target audience for this one is children and teens and obviously WWE fans, the children and teens will get the funny parts, the silliness that adults may not, the messages that are within the movie are plain for all to see and maybe relate to. If you do not like WWE, then i think that you maybe shouldn't watch this movie. For you WWE fans, with it being an official WWE title, then you do see some of their Superstars making appearances.

"The Main Event" is almost a family film that folds in the whimsical view of professional wrestling for its charm from a kid's adventure. Seth Carr will star as the young Leo, who discovers a magical wrestling mask with extremely comical and heartfelt situations. With all its vibrant energy and color by its cast, including real WWE stars, it will be an entertaining movie for younger viewers. However, the storyline is pretty predictable and, at times, overly simplistic, lacking the depth and nuance that might appeal to an older audience. For some viewers, the clichés and rather hurried development of characters may make the film a bit of a letdown. Against all of this, "The Main Event" does manage to bring out an enjoyable and feel-good time for the targeted audience.

Yes it's corny --- no the acting isn't great, but its entertaining. The movie is directed towards young kids -- silly fun and family value messages. The movie lacks depth but many kids' movies do. The WWE theme adds to the fun.

6 stars for Rick D'ela Thicc the bugeynator bugenhagen. Wouldve given 10 if Ricky bugez had been a bigger part of the movie.

It was fine for a WWE film that is aimed at a younger demographic. I thought that the didn't make the main character, Leo, very likable at all. I was far more interested in Erica and his other friends (i.e. the surprising twist at the talent contest was maybe the best part of this movie for me, but wasn't explored further sadly). Very predictable but overall, it was fine.
