I went in optimistic, hoping for something like a Chris Farley style physical comedy
I knew it would be lighthearted, I didn't expect it to be too raunchy. I was prepared for a low budget, slightly bad movie
and still it didn't give me any laughs AT ALL
everything seemed so staged. nothing natural. the extras were terrible. so many cliches from different movies
the worst part was how funny scenes were played in a serious / pathetic way. for example when Big Show gets trapped in the toilet on the bus. the overacting from the extras is terrible, yes, but what ruined it from being funny in the slightest way was the overbearing, maudlin musical score sweeping over the top of the whole scene coupled with Big Show's almost brokenhearted pleas of apology to the rest of the passengers and the firemen rescuing him came off more tragic than funny
did anyone else feel that way about that scene or did the movie leave you without laughs, like me
or did it leave you in stitches?

Never saw it and I don;t think I ever will. I sat through a lot of bad movies but I have some dignity.

Nothing good comes from WWE films.
I'm sorry you went through this, one day you will learn to laugh again.

You mean you don't think the underground Rabbi-run fighting league had a significant quantity of verisimilitude?

No it is a dog pooping on Big Show's head. The other one though, that is Chris Farley. |

My heart really went out to Dennis Farina for appearing in crap like this. The man's a legend and arguably one of the best character actors ever yet some how thanks to the Hollywood hierarchy he's now reduced to this? Are you frickin kidding me?

I never watched it and never will.
I saw the trailer and noticed they included a scene where Big Show farts on a bus in it. Now if that's a scene that's supposedly funny enough to make the trailer then that told me all I had to know about the film.

Seemed like they could have actually made something heartfelt and worthy of watching out of it. Instead it was poo humor

Instead it was poo humor no, they try to lay on the heartfelt thickly. too thickly. and too phony. and there idea of funny is to take cliches from other films in the genre and miss the point on what made it funny to begin with. then the 'joke' sits there until the moment gets awkward and uncomfortably bad |

I actually didn't think it was all that bad, but I'm also one of the few who seems to like most WWE films.
If you're used to watching alot of direct-to-dvd movies like I am, they aren't nearly as bad as some of the budget-less crap out there.
