Pinned (2009)
In Lakewood, Ohio, two young men are fighting for one dream: to become a state wrestling champion. Lance Palmer captains the St. Edward Eagles. He’s a 3-time state champion who hits the gym before opening his Christmas presents and wrestles 600-lb. bears. Matt Curley, captain of the Lakewood Rangers, comes from a broken home and endures starvation hoping to be his school’s first champion in 50 years.

“Pinned” throws you into the world of high school wrestling, where pain is practiced and becoming a champion is worth any price.

    Loved it....and I'm not a wrestler!!
    I saw Pinned at the Cleveland premier and thought it was wonderful, I think the packed house that was there would agree. Reading the summary of the movie does give a good idea of what the movie is about and it's so fun to watch what unfolds as the movie progresses. I'm certainly not a wrestler (although I did have a cousin who was and sadly watched him eat nothing on holidays to make weight as I chowed down!!) but was amazed by the lengths of what someone would go through to be the best. Anyone who knows a wrestler should watch this movie...it's truly amazing and eye-opening to see the extent one will go through to be #1. Anyone who IS a wrestler will watch and relate immediately. Loved it.
