Like there's something wrong with just wanting to have a good time.

Rating: 1/10 (17 June 2017)

The Wrestler is like a newspaper story made into a movie: "Old, dirty, drug-abusing wrestler gets a second chance. Ruins it because he's a selfish idiot". A waste of talent, time and money.
It's just a meaningless movie with an unlikeable main character (not that the other characters are saints either). It's strange world we live in, where people want to see movies about jerks who do drugs, sleep around, fail their loved ones and destroy their lives. That depressing garbage like The Wrestler called art by some is also a mystery (well, not really...these days, taking a crap in public makes you an artistic genius).
Someone already did the unlikeable loser ruins everything-stuff many years ago in a Swedish silent movie called "The Phantom Carriage", but they did it the right way. That movie is also dark and ugly in parts, but doesn't resort to profanity and pointless nudity to tell the story. It didn't have a stupid ending either.
Or you could just watch Santo in the Wax Museum instead...
