About this movie

This "documentary" chronicles the journey of wannabe pro-wrestlers, Reggie (Danny Mac) and Maurice (Chris Wilcox). Despite lacking any trace of athleticism, intelligence or drive, these backyard wrestlers are certain they'll become the next big thing in the business - no matter how many years they waste boozing or mooching off their parents. But after watching them procrastinate for a decade, Reggie's brother, Jared (Matthew Graham) has had enough of their tough-talk. He issues a challenge: join a wrestling school and prove they have what it takes. If they fail? Move out of mom's house, get a real job, and let the dream of squared-circle stardom die forever. Reggie can't wait to prove to his loving mother (Pam Kearns) and on-again/mostly-off-again girlfriend (Naiah Cummins) that his backyard "training" wasn't for nothing. But it won't be as easy as he thought... They'll find no sympathy from their trainers at the ECCW, and even less from Roger, (Cooper Bibaud) the jaded filmmaker hired to document their journey. For the first time in their lives, Reggie and Maurice are actually going for their dream... but can they handle the gut-busting, side-splitting pain along the way?

Ratings and reviews

It was hilarious! I laughed from beginning to end. You never knew what was going to happen next. I'm not big into wrestling, but these characters will have you in stitches.

Seriously funny. This movie had me pinned for the 3-count and I couldn't break out because I was laughing so hard! Fingers crossed for a sequel!

I think I can honestly say, all biases aside, that this is the superior wrestling comedy when put against 'Ready To Rumble'. NOW YOU DECIDE.
