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

This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.

Underrated film that would deserve at least a full pass because it is a light, fun and unpretentious film, ok the acting performances are not the best and as we all know few WWE superstars have managed to have a good career in cinema and Big-Show is definitely not one of them, but in any case we must give a prize to the effort and also to the result that is not too bad. So in conclusion I would dare to say that the film is nice and represents one of the usual and classic family comedies, nice and funny.

Have you ever watched a movie but didn't really watch it, you had the movie on but you found yourself thinking about your day instead because the movie wasn't really gripping or luring you into it so you popped the movie out before it's finished to find something else to watch. This was one of those movies for me I didn't find it very interesting maybe I need to watch it at a later time and date but I don't think I will do so I think I will just discard it since I didn't find it very interesting I hope you find it interesting but I don't want to lie I'm here to tell the truth thank you very much.

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.

This movie was horrendous....the acting was crap...the casting was crap...watching Paul Wight in the WWF was bad enough but watching him here, idvrather have teeth pulled...Big Show,PLEASE don't ever do another movie. If I could give this movie 0 stars I would.

The only reason I go to trampoline parks is to flip and do tricks but this trampoline park is the only park that does not let you. It was 50$ down the drain and they yelled at you for everything. Don't recommend i recommend going to sky zone in madison that actually know how to have fun. Ps. I have been in gymnastics 8 years out of my life and i'm 15 now so I know what i'm doing. Knuckleheads is only a place for young children honestly NOT worth the money what so ever. I am livid that i spent so much and did not get to do anything I payed for to do. Knuckleheads is a boring trampoline park however the amusement rides and such are fun i just very much believe that the trampoline park is not a fun place unless you are 6 and under. Knuckleheads makes you sign waivers aswell in case something does happen and even then you can't have fun. I mean I don't understand what 15 year old kid goes to trampoline park just to jump up and down but I will NEVER be coming back. Terrible costumer service and no fun anyways.

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!

I actually have never heard of WWE Productions prior to watching this movie and I am not a wrestling fan in any way shape or form. I watched the movie on the recommendation of a friend.

This movie is just a fun, funny, feel good movie that is suitable for the whole family. It is a good, heartwarming movie. There are a few profanities and mild violence, but really suitable for pretty much anyone.

The actors were great. Though the main actor is apparently a wrestler, he is quite a talented actor. His ability to show a huge range of emotions is as good as most well paid, well known actors.

This probably isn't a critics movie. But if you can sit around and enjoy a movie without digging into originality and critically analyzing everything about it, you will enjoy.

This is just a great film to be able to get the family together and everyone enjoy the movie. I highly recommend it.

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.

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
