There needs to be a good movie about anabolic steroids, but this movie misses the mark. The lead character is so greasy and slimy that his beautiful girlfriend would never fall for him. And Daniel Baldwin playing the boss is so over the top that his character was like an SNL skit.
The movie makes some potent points and could have been a solid independent film but somehow it kind of appears like an amateur production. The roid bodybuilder was the best part, as he was believable and intense. The ending was baffling to me
I watch loads of films! every day, so id like to think of myself as rather well traveled when it comes to movies in general, this movie, was fantastic, Chris Levines acting was superb, and the movie did exactly what it set out to do, at the end i felt sad and rather emotional, it put my in the main characters shoes, and really does make you think about body image and self image etc...
would highly recommend watching it!! can honestly say this for me, is one of the best movies i have seen this year so far! well done to the writers, actors, producers and whole crew you have made a good film. :)

I was expecting garbage, since I was mostly studio movies and only do independent if they've gained a name. However, this one I was pleasantly surprised. Although the main actor's face is a bit hard to look at for 2 hours, he did a good job, and the movie came together with a good supporting cast. It told the story well, and I felt the emotion and trauma that people were going through. It was a little predictable, only downfall. Despite someone else's comments the dialogue is all necessary to the plot development and I thought lines were delivered well.
As someone who bodybuilds himself for years, I got lured into watching this film. It could have been done much better. The premier was there, it just wasn't made properly. Nonetheless. A decent watch if you are into the world of bodybuilding
It must have taken place in some alternate dimension for that girl to date the loser character that was so prominently on display. When I saw the photo of her on his desk, I assumed Daniel Baldwin would rip on him for leaving the model photo in the frame. The movie never addressed this glaring mismatch, causing several reviews that touch on the topic.
The film would have played out a whole lot better if he didn't have a girlfriend at all. Also, roid rage is a myth, do some research before making a full length feature.
As for the ending, I didn't understand it. Was he big the whole time? Did he actually get big but had dysmorphia so he wanted to get even bigger? There seemed to be some sort of revelation by the main character but I couldn't figure out what it was.
