Only a couple of laughs. (only chuckles though). I didn't go into the film with really high hopes, but I had no idea I would be this disappointed…

More Reviews of Ready to Rumble

Self deprecating, slapstick, toilet humor on full display…

Great humor which you may have a better appreciation for if you are a wrestling fan…

If you're expecting an experience approximately as dumb, badly acted, and childish as a pro wrestling match, you'll be pleasantly surprised…

Over-acting,scene-chewing and 2-dimensional characters...and thatsnot even mentioning the wrestlers.Still an enjoyable family movie…

Ultraviolet. More violent than professional wrestling itself. A few laughs - bathroom humor. All problems solved by hitting…

Screw you Arnofsky, this is the best wrestling movie ever! I can quote the whole thing…

Excrement could have easily received third billing…

Either I really am an imbecile or Ready to Rumble has received a far harsher reception than it deserves, because personally, I find this film…

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

Likable performances from its young cast and a better-than-average script add spark to this formulaic fairy tale and make the wrestling mania…
