lolololol
such an awesomely cheesy movie. I will probably buy this on dvd.
a few things, the guy who wrote it is only credited to writing two movies on IMDB.
2008: Never Back Down
1996: Homeward Bound 2
The movie starts out with a rainy football scene. awesome! You know it's going to be cheese galore.
Then 10 minutes in, there's a quickly cut flashback when he sees a box of his dad's shirts and he writes "Useless Junk" on it.
Let's note right here that the movie is filled with tons and tons of cliches.
Oh and youtube placement in here is ridiculous. hell, the amount of ad placement in here is crazy. There's iphones everywhere and HP laptops and macbooks. Every kid drives escalades and hummers.
But at least the dialogue was written cheesily and you can tell that the writer did it on purpose. There are awesome shout outs all over the place. in one scene...
"We saw your fight on youtube"
"Well you know how the internet is"
[off in the distance from a character not on screen]"Yeah we do baby!"
oh and another scene where his little brother walks in on his girlfriend on top of him right before a fuck session (that never takes place wtf?), the little brother asks "what are you guys doing?" and the brother says "wrestling". The little brother says "oh ok. well mom is on her way home." and then he looks slyly at the girl and says "by the way, i'm a big fan of wrestling"
and then in a scene a few minutes later the older brother, little brother and the girlfriend are playing cards and the doorbell rings. the older brother gets up to check it and the camera follows him. in the background you hear the girlfriend ask the little brother "feel like wrestling?" i lol'ed so hard.
This movie is incredibly cheesy. I can't stress it. The writer had to have been laughing his ass off. In one scene, the main characters white flabby sidekick says "man, you're a rockstar. everyone knows about you" and then he moves to the side to reveal a chubby chick eyeing down the main character in an ever so seductive fashion.
good quote: "you set me up so your boyfriend could kick my ass in front of half the school"
Also, there are two (TWO!) musical montages in this movie. not one! two! it's THAT awesome.
There's also shit tons of references to smallville. the guy who played the main character was in a few episodes of smallville, so I guess that's why. But I thought that was hellafuckingawesome.
oh and the cheese doesn't stop there. there's a scene in history class where they're talking about what the symbols on achilles shield means. and then at the end, his girlfriend says "I get it now. You're like achilles. you're fighting for the people you love" so awesome
Seriously, I recommend seeing this movie with some friends. do not go in expecting anything. it's horribly cheesy and from what I can tell, made to be.
10/10
