The Main Event

6 stars for Rick D'ela Thicc the bugeynator bugenhagen. Wouldve given 10 if Ricky bugez had been a bigger part of the movie.

It was fine for a WWE film that is aimed at a younger demographic. I thought that the didn't make the main character, Leo, very likable at all. I was far more interested in Erica and his other friends (i.e. the surprising twist at the talent contest was maybe the best part of this movie for me, but wasn't explored further sadly). Very predictable but overall, it was fine.

"The Main Event" is almost a family film that folds in the whimsical view of professional wrestling for its charm from a kid's adventure. Seth Carr will star as the young Leo, who discovers a magical wrestling mask with extremely comical and heartfelt situations. With all its vibrant energy and color by its cast, including real WWE stars, it will be an entertaining movie for younger viewers. However, the storyline is pretty predictable and, at times, overly simplistic, lacking the depth and nuance that might appeal to an older audience. For some viewers, the clichés and rather hurried development of characters may make the film a bit of a letdown. Against all of this, "The Main Event" does manage to bring out an enjoyable and feel-good time for the targeted audience.

As a fan of "sports entertainment," I thought this was an entertaining watch that should keep the little ones giggling from start to finish.

The story revolves around a young boy who finds a magical luchador mask that allows him to have superhuman strength. Rather than fighting crime like many movies we've already seen, he chooses to enter a wrestling tournament to not only live out his dream, but also, and more importantly, win prize money to help his financially burdened father.

The kids will enjoy the cameos by WWE Superstars, endless cheesy elements, puns and the cartoonish heroes/villains. Parents will enjoy the moral ending of the story and lack of violence (the "fighting" scenes are extremely goofy and exaggerated to the point where they can't be attempted at home).

There are things that adults could criticize such as storyline, special effects and acting, but these are to be expected for what is essentially a straight-to-video children's title. Overall, it is a fun movie for little wrestling fans.

Yes it's corny --- no the acting isn't great, but its entertaining. The movie is directed towards young kids -- silly fun and family value messages. The movie lacks depth but many kids' movies do. The WWE theme adds to the fun.
