Rating: Null/10 (29 February 2008)

Over the Top (1987)
*** 1/2 (out of 4)
Unbelievable "drama" about a truck driving father (Sylvester Stallone) trying to reconnect with the son (Sage Stallone) he hasn't seen in over ten years. This is without questions one of the worst dramas ever made and it certainly deserves a "BOMB" rating but I also think it's one of the funniest movies ever made so that answers my rating. This film tries so damn hard to make the viewer cry with its over dramatic themes and scenes but they all come off incredibly funny. Even the "serious" death scenes comes off with laughs. I actually think Sage did a good job in the role of the rich son but father Sly comes off with what I think is his most embarrassing film moment. His dramatic moments just make me cringe with laughter and his serious "father speeches" are incredibly stupid. A god-awful film but I love it.
