Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
Gordy (David Arquette of the Scream movies) and Sean (Scott Caan of Varsity Blues) are rabid fans of professional wrestling--in particular, white trash champion Jimmy King (Oliver Platt, Funny Bones, Flatliners). But the show's producer Titus Sinclair (Joe Pantoliano, The Matrix) decides it's time for King to lose his crown and allows Diamond Dallas Page (playing himself) and assorted cronies to tromp all over the fallen King. Crestfallen, Gordy and Sean track King down to convince him to take another shot at the big time. Although in the process they discover that King may not be the man they thought he was, their faith never falters. With the training assistance of an old-school wrestler (Martin Landau), they get King back into the ring to face the triple steel cage. Ready to Rumble is clearly aimed at wrestling fans, who will doubtless enjoy numerous professional wrestlers playing themselves, including Goldberg and Sting, as well as the scantily clad Nitro Girls. The movie isn't exactly Shakespeare, but it has a raffish, affable charm. The jokes stick to the basics, such as people being kicked in the groin and nuns singing Van Halen's "Running with the Devil" with their crystalline soprano voices. And what's wrong with that? As a comedy team, Arquette and Caan aren't Abbott and Costello--they're not even Bill and Ted--but they give it their all and you may find them surprisingly engaging. --Bret Fetzer

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Movie for all wrestling fans!!, March 31, 2002
By Dave (Coplay, PA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ready to Rumble (DVD)
I picked this up to rent one night because basically I love wrestling and anything with wrestling sparks an interest within me. The movie is about two guys, Gordie (David Arquette,Scream) and Sean (Scott Cann,American Outlaws) who want to get their favorite wrestler of all time, Jimmy King (Oliver Platt, Don't Say A Word) back into the WCW wrestling federation. King was screwed out of the company and the title by Sinclair (Joe Pantoliano, The Matrix) the owner of the company in the film. So the two friends embark on a quest to get him one last shot against the new champion Diamond Dallas Page. (as himself of course) The movie is full of jokes and stunts that all move fans can enjoy but only wrestling fans will surely apperciate the little things that appear in the film that relate to wrestling. The wrestlers in the movie all play themselves but for some reason are very humorus at times. (Hint : There is a scene in the movie where Physco Sid and Perry Saturn are crying and wrestling fans will surely get a kick out of it) This movie is mainly geared towards wrestling fans. I have heard reviews of how this movie makes the wrestling fan look idiotic. This is not the case it just shows that we know that is a show and we don't care! Don't tell us it's fake...you won't like what we give you in return. (Another scene that is hilarious in the film..you'll see what I mean) Basically, catch this one if your a wrestling fan, you won't regret it.

P.S - Don't let anyone tell you that wrestling is phony! These guys are seriously the best athletes in the world.

5.0 out of 5 stars ... Fresh New Comedy With A Great Cast ..., April 24, 2000
By Devin (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews
Ready To Rumble, starring David Arquette, Scott Caan, RoseMcGowan & Oliver Platt is one of the funnest movies to watch!Filled with hot stars, a great script and hilarious lines, Ready To Rumble fills the mold of a great movie!

David Arquette [Scream] plays Gordie with all his "dumbness" and stupidity. He is a hilarious actor with a great future...

Scott Caan [Varsity Blues] plays Sean, Gordies best friend. His clever and some-what smarter (not by much) lines show he is a bit more intelligent that Gordie, but just as obessed with wrestling. His career is definately rising...

Rose McGowan [Jawbreaker] acts along side Arquette again (before in Scream) as Sasha, the lead Nitro Girl. Her gorgeous face, beautiful body and talent gives her role a great push. Her acting career definately has a future...

The film also features Oliver Platt, Bill Goldberg, Diamond Dallas Page, and Joe Pantoliano. It is a great film and is recomended to all audiences!

4.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly funny, February 20, 2006
By Bill Pearson (Philadelphia, PA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ready to Rumble (DVD)
This is a very well written film. It's stoopid and sweet and charming and at times really funny. It's got a Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure vibe to it with a little bit of Raising Arizona quirkiness and a few digs at the Rocky genre. It's got wry humor and slapstick--something for everybody.

I stumbled on this buddy movie on TV, and I was hooked within minutes; I'd never heard of it before. The two main characters are so simple and so disarming, you buy right into the plot. Look, it's not a work of art, but it's not a bad way to spend a couple of hours. I had some good laughs.
