Dumbbells

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.

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.

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!!!

Does liking this movie make me a dumb person? If it does I don't really care. I enjoyed this docu-drama-comedy-romance low budget style film and I will be watching it again at some point. The three main characters were enjoyable and interesting characters. Brian Drolet who plays Chris Long a highly touted college basketball star who gets injured before he can sign his first big professional contract ends up being relegated to work at a misfit gym which goes under new management.

The new owner of the gym is a guy named Jack Guy (Hoyt Richards) who has plenty of charisma and high expectations of his staff but unfortunately he is currently having a significant cash flow problem. Jack Guy's character is so irritating that you can't help but like him and his array of wigs and if that makes any sense at all then you, will also enjoy the film as much as I did.

The third main character is gym owner Jack Guy's attractive niece Rachel Corelli (Taylor Cole) who is hired by Jack as an instructor at his dumpy gym which Jack intends to turn around with plenty of advertising and a bunch of hot girls plugging his product.

Getting back to the main character the down on his luck former college basketball star Chris Long who is torn between two relationships his former shallow but hot looking girlfriend Kim Hertz (Mircea Monroe) and his recently new co-worker Rachel Corelli who is down to earth and very supportive of Chris's ability to succeed and in his pursuit of happiness.

It is well worth a higher score than the picture is indicating so far and as such I rate it as a 7 out of 10 IMDb review score.

I watched Dumbbells last night, this one is a successful comedy. It's not designed to have a huge story plot but it has one and its relatively simple. For what it is it's kind of over the top for children but young adults will be very amused by this movie. I wouldn't expect older generation seniors and adults to pull as much enjoyment from this movie as would say a 19 year old teen or a 22 year old young adult (me)

Brain Drolet did a good job on this movie. It's 100 minutes of fun that will probably have you laughing hysterically at the screen drooling on yourself if you have a sensitive reflex.

The mediocre reviews on this film are mediocre themselves. This film deserves a chance by any comedy lover. But be warned if your not at all into comedies you will not be into this movie at all whatsoever. It's not designed as a drama, it is a Comedy first and foremost.

The movie all surrounds a small gym where they shoot a movie and get frauded out of a ponzi scheming rich money manager. The resolution at the end of the movie is quite an ironic unexpected twist and really has a good feel.

The movies soundtrack is awesome and if you yourself go to a gym you will be staring at the screen or grabbing your Shazam enabled mobile device.
