Review of Ready to Rumble (2000) by Justin W — 11 Oct 2008

I wish I could enjoy this movie for what it is...a cheesy movie about professional wrestling...but I can't. I shall forever know this film as causing one of the reasons that wcw died...and for that, I don't think i'll ever find enjoyment in it.

Here's ringside entertainment for those who think TV wrestling is too intellectual and restrained…

I love how people act like they never laugh at stupid humor…

As a child, I was a dedicated WCW fan and I was excited to see some of my favorite wrestlers as actors in this film…

Another guilty pleasure. As a wrestling fan, it is a great look back at the awfulness that was WCW…

I liked it :-) It wasn't a movie that will change the world, but it served well as entertainment…

Heavy on cheap, dirty humor (Gordie and Sean clean septic tanks for a living, a fact that is milked frequently for laughs), but it's never…

Once again David Arquette stinks up the screen. But if you are a wrestling fan,you might want to see this one…

I really liked this movie. The comedy of it was great. Even though it was from WCW which was trash in 2000. It was funny…
