Simply A Masterpiece

It is a performances centric movie

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

My first real job was working at a small post production house as a DVD menu designer, and Backyard Dogs was one of the first movies I got to work on (the menus are the only thing worse than the movie - don't judge me - I was young and didn't know what I was doing). I didn't have anything to do with the actual movie, but as a lifelong Mystery Science Theater and bad movie fan, to see something that I had a tiny part of producing so much misery to people brings me a huge amount of joy.That said, I had to watch this movie about 7 or 8 times for work and I never want to see it again. The wrestling is awful, I assume. I don't know what good wrestling is supposed to look like. The acting is awful, the dialog is awful and it's shot on video, so it looks awful. I don't know what else to say

Seriously, I have to give this thing at least ONE star?.....OK, anyhow I just watched this on Netflix. Yeah, I made it through the whole thing. I think I deserve a medal of some sort for doing so. This movie was absolutely atrocious...Terrible acting, terrible story, terrible rap-metal soundtrack. I'm a big fan of pro wrestling, and I cannot defend the making of this movie in any possible way. How much did they spend making this abomination? I'd say $50 to $50.99 is a pretty good guess. Bree Turner is a pretty hot number, but come on. A hot actress will not detract from the point if you make a movie that looks like dog crap captured on film. And yes, dog crap does play a significant role in this movie. I am not kidding....

I just watched this movie to see how it compares to "Manos".... This movie was he scariest movie I've ever seen, it made me slit my wrists, the movie had so many SH*TTY moments that it makes you want to end your life. This movie also made me laugh, I laughed while i was on my couch with my wrists bleeding going "yes the pain will be over soon". I cried when the movie started, I was crying because My eyes were being raped by the scary images that this movie made. I was also crying because this was the only thing on TV, and i couldn't find this remote, and it was edited for TV, if your going to make a movie that is as bad as this, you should not edit it for TV, you should let America see this movie to know how many dumb people actually live in LA

***SPOILERS*** ***SPOILERS*** When I first heard of Backyard Dogs, I laughed. Alot. Just the thought of making a movie about Backyard Wrestling is pure idiocy. So I imagined that this movie would be bad. Then one day at blockbuster, I came across this, so I decided to waste my money and see how bad it really was.***Just a note, I am a LONG time fan of wrestling. I've watched it since i was 4 years old. Just to let you know I'm not some outsider that hates wrestling in general.***Now, I get home and put this movie in DVD player (which will forever be soiled because of this) and took a seat. The story (heh) of this movie, follows two friends touring the backyard circut as a tag team called the backyard warriors in order to earn money for college next year. This tag team consists of 'The Paperboy' who's an all american hero and lee hakura 'the mighty ninja' (played by none other than Zack the black power ranger!). Lee brings his friend Chris (who's having legal troubles and needs money herself) to a backyard show. After paying to get in, they sit back and watch crappy wrestling complete with lines like 'that's real blood!' and 'this is crazy!' all leading upto the debut of The Paperboy! After the show and the next morning, the warriors ask Chris to manage them and get them known across the internet and the backyard circut, so they can get to the backyard championships which the winner gets a spot at the FMW pay per view. Chris decides to accept, but changes the paperboy into a much better gimmick. to quote her directly from the movie:'Straight from the moshpits. Ooozing with slime. Cole 'The outlaw' Davis'She also changes the name of the team to the 'Backyard Dogs' (after stepping in dog crap). Having their new business agreement, they drive off in Lee's expensive sports car.Okay, you get all those plot holes?They need money, so they're wasting their time backyard wrestling. People are PAYING to get into backyard wrestling People are getting PAID to wrestle in the backyard circut There's an actual backyard circut The FMW is coming to america Lee needs money, but he's driving an expensive sports carThis is just the START of all the plot holes in this movie, add bad acting/camera/horrible love story and just plain bad everything (the wrestling consists of slams, clotheslines and sloppy dropkicks), all adds up for piece of crap.Some people i've talked to say this is a good movie for wrestling fans. No, it's even worse for wrestling fans, because it gives us all a reason to hate what we like. and for everyone that hates wrestling, doesn't give them a reason to like it. Backyard Dogs is just a horrible movie, especially for wrestling fans! There's a reason this sits at the bottom of the IMDB.
