Review of Over the Top (1987) by Peter P — 15 Feb 2015
Classic cheesy 80's sports underdog movie. Stallone is his normal self, which works for me, for others, it can cause hours of intense movie pain. The story is OK, the arm wrestling is fun to watch and strangely enough, makes you want to call over your best friends house and go over the top on um to see them cry like a little girl. Other then that, if you watched this when you were younger you will probably have fond memories, if you are just seeing it for the first time, you will probably think it is bad. And that's OK, cause it is, but in the best 80's way possible. Plus the Hugh Jackman movie Real Steal is pretty much a high tech retelling of this, with Robot Boxers instead of human arm wrestlers, so that is cool too.
3 Beards Out Of 5.
