Review of Ready to Rumble (2000) by Mark S — 02 Nov 2007

The wrestling fan in me can't help but be amused by the occasional moment...but this is ultimately a terrible movie and at times quite painful to watch (and it stars David Arquette, which is never a good thing for any film).

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

Funny movie take it for what it is, it wasn't made to win an oscar it was made for wrestling fans…

Self deprecating, slapstick, toilet humor on full display…

It's a truly strange coupling of mooning romanticism and rank stupidity that fairly screams, Teenage America, we love your money…

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

My favorite wrestling movie... Wait, it's almost the only wrestling movie I've ever seen…

Great movie if your an actual wrestling fan…

Everything about this film was bad, the whole premise of the film was awful from the start though…
