A fun and motivational film about a brainy bodybuilder guy who dares to believe in himself and his dreams. The film doesn't take itself seriously and is a hell of a lot of fun to watch. The bad guys (and gals) are really colorful. It's hilarious AND moving. Lots of great one liners too!
I saw this film at the Palm Beach Film Festival a couple months ago. I've been seriously training for years and the filmmakers really did their homework on this one. It has the bodybuilding insight of "Pumping Iron" but in a fiction film with a solid story and great characters. Also, it doesn't flinch in depicting both the good and bad of bodybuilding. It's about time someone made a real film about bodybuilding. This film will do really well.
I plan to see it again when it's released.
