Featured reviews
I try and find the good in anything I watch, i have met my match with this. I have no idea why such a Steller cast signed up for such a weak, and uneventful script. No laughs, no drama, no point.
Far too much drama and far too few laughs, if any. An hour into the movie now and still nothing is happening. It's all soooooo slooooooow and boring. What a pity because the idea of a wrestling team reunion could have resulted in something good. Maybe it's because I am a non-UK resident and don't understand the British pub-culture. Maybe it's just as boring for people who do.
You settle into your cinema seat and with the the opening credits your transported to 4pm on a Saturday afternoon.
The film has a heart warming story plenty of laughs, and a villain you can't wait to see get his just deserts.
The wealth of British talent in this film is crazy, you could easily do a spin off with a few.
What you get from this film is a damm good laugh.
Worth a watch you won't be disappointed
I can't understand the bad reviews for this movie, as its as good as most other lower budget British under dog comedy's in my opinion.
If you remember the family fun Panto style 80's British wrestling with fondness, you will probably enjoy this movie and better understand some of the jokes (otherwise you may not get it).
This movie itself has a pantomime stye villain and other over the top characters (particularly Julian Sands as sweet cheeks) with a lot of over acting but when watching, you just need to accept this is the format of the film.
