A Wrestling Christmas Miracle

I, thankfully, did not watch this abomination. I did, however, listen to the review by the God Awful Movies team. Note that I employ a 1 to 5 scale when rating movies because I feel anything more fine grained is silly. So my two star rating really means one star. Nonetheless, I was sorely tempted to give this a single star as an indication that it has zero redeeming values. If Ken Del Vechio had been a film school student this, and every one of his other films, would have been graded as a failure. Even his previous film, "A Karate Christmas Miracle" was (marginally) better than this stillborn waste of celluloid.

Great Movie, Great Actors, Great everything. I am a huge fan of Mario and his Family. Cant wait for the next installment.

I don't even know where to begin with for this movie...?

Mainly it was just a bunch of random segments trying to tie together to one cohisive story that really made no sense at all...!

The best I could gather from the story: it's about a junior wrestler who gives up the sport to make a movie he hopes will wake up his comatose friend for Christmas, with the help from his father who is an Olympian wrestler with a strange side career himself - and that's how I can describe it to the best of my ability.

To call it a movie is a bit of a stretch - I would rather describe it as a fever dream that had somewhat of a concept behind it.

What a waste of tine. Bad writing. Bad Acting, bad directing, and bad editing. Makes me feel sorry for all the bad has been actors in it.

Okay, this is not a great movie. Adjust your expectations. It's an independently produced, low budget effort that seems to be one of at least two vehicles conceived to push the acting/athletic efforts of Mario Del Vecchio. That said, it's an amusing, annoyingly charming holiday effort that's (gasp!) safe for families and kids. Really. Everyone seems to be having a good time--the script is preposterous, and the dialogue so over the top, that the actors can't do anything more than ham it up. Maybe it was the spirit of the season, but I really couldn't diss this movie too hard. It's not an endurance test like, say, "Things" or "Manos the Hand of Fate", but it's also not a camp fest or some vehicle for unintentional irony. Mario Del Vecchio may never hit it big as a child actor, but this good-natured little flick certainly possesses plenty of holiday cheer.
