The greatest movie ever made..!

That was an excellent one.

Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

This is quite a harrowing and chilling documentary. I felt like crying at what the youth of today consider to be meaningful behavior. But it is not only youth, but parents are actively supporting their young ones in this dangerous activity. This film is an amazing study of teenage existence, and what it means to be young in today's society. It is subtle, intelligent and does not pass judgment. Instead it is up to you the viewer to formulate your own opinion. This remarkable approach really takes you into the world of backyard wrestling. While the subject did initially put me off from wanting to see the film, I am so glad I did. It makes my top 5 list of 2003 must-see documentaries.

Sometimes films speak to you softly. This one triumphantly and violently screams at you. But it is much more than a pure blood orgy. This is a profound examination of teenage life in America and the effect tv has on kids. Not only was I surprised about what I saw but I was surprised that the film doesn't blame professional wrestling for the violence. I wouldn't be surprised also if this film gets nominated for an Oscar - although I think possibly the fact that the film is about wrestling may prevent that.

This is one great movie. I sat on the edge of my seat absolutely stunned at what I was seeing. This is a scary world, full of comedy and horror. One minute I was laughing my ass off, the next hiding behind my hands. I hardly ever give applause for a film at the end, but I stood up for this one! Not only is this an absolute must see I strongly believe it is one of the best documentaries I've ever seen.

Warning: Possible SpoilersA friend of mine that I went to vocational school with has basically a walk-on part in this, so I was able to see it soon after it was finished.This film covers the same ground as pretty much every other piece thats' ever been conducted on backyard wrestling.You get your standard shots of violence, and interviews with "wrestlers", which make them appear to be somewhat less than intelligent.I am proud to say that from what I remember, the people from my area come across as the most sensible (I don't recall any light tubes or any other stupid stuff).The best parts of this film are Rob Van Dam talking about the people's reaction to him when he first decided to become a wrestler, and "The Lizard"'s run to Tough Enough 2.If you like watching people beat the living crap out of each other, you'll probably enjoy this.
