Review of Over the Top (1987) by David Ansen for Newsweek — 05 Apr 1988
There isn't a scintilla of surprise to any of it, and arm wrestling as a sport isn't really much fun to watch unless it's the match in The Fly. The only diversion is keeping track of the shameless advertising plugs that dot the film, like toadstools after a rain.
It's not quite reason enough to go out to a movie, however.
