Dumbbells

Dumbbells starts out as a truly goofy funny story with some wacky characters and lots of girl candy! There are quick witted lines and comebacks by the actors. So the writers were on the ball because the laughs are fun and quick!

Then somewhere after the first half of the story the funny bits begin to dry up quickly and by the finish of the movie it has become amateurish and cute! The the engaging wackiness of the story becomes some biographical confession by Jack Guy the Bumbbells owner.

But all isn't lost - it's good lite entertainment with some genuine laughs for all!

One of the worst movies ever made. Great job, Brian, I hope you're proud. Never see this piece of garbage movie, you're better of watching zit-popping compliations.

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.

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!!!

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.
