What did you expect?

Rating: Null/10 (29 April 2003)

I saw this movie (in it's entirety) today, and I have to say....I enjoyed it. When you watch it you know you're seeing a bad movie. However, it falls into the category of "so bad its good". If you ask me, it's one of the top movies of that kind. Sly's character in this movie is so pathetic that you can't help but empathize with him. The only thing that keeps him going in his worthless life is his son, who is actually very bratty and whiny.
All in all, Over The Top is a classic piece of 80's film making. It combines cheesy dialogue and scenarios with a terrible soundtrack, yet you can't help but to continue watching it. Which is what a good movie is all about, being able to watch it til the end and enjoying it while doing so...
