A Wrestling Christmas Miracle

I, thankfully, did not watch this abomination. I did, however, listen to the review by the God Awful Movies team. Note that I employ a 1 to 5 scale when rating movies because I feel anything more fine grained is silly. So my two star rating really means one star. Nonetheless, I was sorely tempted to give this a single star as an indication that it has zero redeeming values. If Ken Del Vechio had been a film school student this, and every one of his other films, would have been graded as a failure. Even his previous film, "A Karate Christmas Miracle" was (marginally) better than this stillborn waste of celluloid.

So bad it might be good. Straightaway reminiscent of "Melos: The Hands of Fate" in terms of production quality, storytelling, acting, et cetera. Fully expect this to appear on MST3K (if they're still around). The only legitimate wrestling appears in the opening montage, showing that the boy has wrestling talent. Elsewhere this is pure dreck, full of idiot characters along with a small smattering of Big Time wrestling.

Not enough thought has gone into the script. For example: one scene displays wordplay on "bear" versus "bare," as in "the cupboard is bare" versus "a bear in the woods." No one considers that someone might be "bare" in the woods, or that there could be a "bear" hiding in a cupboard. Nor does this extend to anyone needing some "Bayer" aspirin for a possible headache, in which there might be some "Bayer" in a medicine cabinet.

Do yourself a favor and don't watch this movie. Laughably bad performances and a laughably bad script.

Great Movie, Great Actors, Great everything. I am a huge fan of Mario and his Family. Cant wait for the next installment.

I don't even know where to begin with for this movie...?

Mainly it was just a bunch of random segments trying to tie together to one cohisive story that really made no sense at all...!

The best I could gather from the story: it's about a junior wrestler who gives up the sport to make a movie he hopes will wake up his comatose friend for Christmas, with the help from his father who is an Olympian wrestler with a strange side career himself - and that's how I can describe it to the best of my ability.

To call it a movie is a bit of a stretch - I would rather describe it as a fever dream that had somewhat of a concept behind it.
