"A lot of sweating and grunting and not in the "most" interesting way. 😆😆😆 Just watch it for the fun of it and don't examine it too much. Enjoy! "

"In the first 10 minutes of this movie, we find out that Sylvester Stallone's character will be in an arm wrestling championship in Las Vegas. He wants to win the grand prize 🏆 and start a new life. To me, this movie is as equally about an estranged father and his relationship with his son as it is about the competition. Sly plays the role of a big rig truck driver by profession. He uses his transportation to try to bond with his son as they traverse the country. Although it is a light drama, the movie does shed light on the arm wrestling competitions that in the modern day have been organized since the 1950s. Some scenes at the competition remind you of WWE pro wrestling entrances. Just like movies of this type, I enjoyed hearing the catchy songs and seeing the silly way that the father and son bond during the storyline. "

""Don’t try to understand it, feel it.” This movie is the epitome of that stupid quote. I feel every particle of sweat in this moist meathead adrenaline flick. Slathered in a thick layer of dumb and beyond entertaining."

"What looks like a super height-of-masculinity let's-go-to-war type movie actually turns out to be a really great story about an estranged father reconnecting with his son after all the odds try to keep them apart"
