Movie Review - The Wrestler


It just didn't hold my attention.

I'm not sure what the hype was about. Mickey Rourke buffs up to play an aged professional wrestler who scrapes by in life and his body (heart specifically) is running out of time. Blah, blah, blah.

It was mildly depressing, and not very interesting. I kept waiting for it to get better, but it never did.

Marissa Tomei looks great for someone who's 44. She was the highlight of the movie for me - why isn't she in more movies?

It was very difficult watching the mashed potato-face mess who used to be so handsome try to speak. It really kinda grossed me out.

I'll say it again - where did my Mickey go?
