Nothing special

Rating: 5/10 (30 April 2000)

This predictable movie really isn't all that bad, but it isn't all that good, either. On the plus side, the film kept me somewhat entertained, and even though the end result of the tournament was painfully obvious, I found the arm wrestling scenes to be very enjoyable. Unfortunately, several of the conversations (especially some father-son talks) throughout this film aren't very good, and there were a few scenes in this movie that seemed needless, silly, and basically, over the top. This isn't a bad way to kill some time, but if you're looking for serious entertainment, please try something else.
