Review

I guess this is pleasant enough entertainment for the brain dead. Scott Caan and David Arquette are hardcore rasslin fans who help their fallen idol regain his lost glory.

Oliver Platt takes the lead, and the rest of the wrestlers are real wrestlers from the past and present. The WCW obviously co-operated with the producers, and all the old familiar WCW faces are around, including the announcers. It's basically a self-contained wrestling plot, so if you like the rasslin' itself, you'll probably get a kick out of it.

Scott Caan provided the only nudity, but Rose McGowan showed a little cleavage as the Head Nitro Girl.

Box office: Not a great success, it grossed $12 million. That was extremely disappointing, considering it had a $24 million budget, and received wide distribution (2585 screens).

Consensus: about 2 stars. That's reasonable, but you may like it better if you like the subject matter.
