Could have been much better

Rating: 3/10 (6 May 2010)

Jack Black really isn't at all funny in this movie. It's got a few scenes which are pretty funny, but most of the jokes are played out and just not even funny. Though the facial expressions are funny (more than the one-liners) I wasn't expecting much from the storyline but what I got was even less. Some of the wrestling sequences are alright and are well-filmed, but as a whole I just didn't think this movie delivered.
Some scenes are overly done intentionally to get a laugh, but in many (if not all) of these scenes they just completely miss their mark. Nacho, for some reason, has a tendency to pass gas at any opportune time (and there are many in the film). I'm sure this is an example of something that is supposed to be funny, but it just doesn't work.
Also, this has to be one of the most predictable movies I have seen. It was predictable that he would end up getting that girl, predictable that he would enter the tournament, and was predictable that he would end up winning the whole thing and receive money in the end. Its been done many times before...way too predictable for me. And why was the colour that bad? i looked as if the movie was shot way before the actually screening
