Chokeslam

I watched this on rainy afternoon expecting a boring cheesy rom com, but I really enjoyed it. Yes, it has a cheesy ending (thank goodness), but it wasn't boring at all. Michael Eklund is great as the new best buddy and the wrestling scenes stopped the film from being too sickly sweet. An enjoyable not too nauseating rom com.

Amanda Crew seriously needs to change management, she done got stuck in another drizzler. A girl with those looks & to be continuously misused and abused in these horrible movies is an embarrassment Chelsea Green is a welcome & pleasant surprise. She's the best of the few wrestling has-beens in this flick. She truly has a bright future ahead of her provided she plays the politics well enough. The movie's basically about a small town girl that makes it big on the wrestling circuit and, for one reason or another, is contemplating packing it in. Amanda has a guy who's hot for her (naturally) and he lusts to be by her side. This movie seems to have been made by a committee of people with a slew of different ideas & things they wanted to implement in it. It's a slow steady snoozer with a lackluster plot, flimsy & unfunny inside jokes, no drama to speak of (Hint: showing the female wrestlers working through their match for that night's main event nullifies the heat you're looking to get). Absolutely and I mean TOTALLY 0% chemistry between Amanda and the male lead. Amanda & Chelsea, as beautiful as they are, cannot carry this movie>everyone in the movie can act to one degree or another but the plot, the direction, and the script, and the editing is severely lacking. You have been warned: this has to be one of the worst wrestling -themed movies I've seen in my life thus far. It's like a long winded, pointless, clumsy wrestling promo that falls apart at the seams...and it keeps going & going. It's enough to make a guy turn heel forever on the people who thought making this movie was a good idea.

My kids and I were fortunate to be involved as extras for a few of the scenes that took place at the wrestling stadium. We knew it wasn't going to be a big budget movie so honestly didn't know what to expect with regards to how Chokeslam would turn out. We were very excited to be at its premiere showing in Regina and can honestly report we really enjoyed the film! The principal acting is fantastic and the story line is solid. Of course, we loved recognizing filming locations and some familiar faces as well. We would highly recommend it to anyone, especially if you are a wrestling fan, but that is not even a necessity. Looking forward to seeing it again!

Film yang bagus!
