    A pair of sewage-truck drivers attempt to rescue the tarnished reputation of their favorite pro wrestler in this comedy from Varsity Blues director Brian Robbins. Gordie Boggs (David Arquette) and Sean Dawkins (Scott Caan) live vicariously through superstar grappler Jimmy King (Oliver Platt). But when King's manager (Joe Pantoliano), in a fit of ego, arranges to have his client dethroned to make way for the next hot property, the guys hatch a plan to force a rematch. The only problem is, their no-good hero has sunk into a black hole of self-pity and liquor. Enlisting the help of old-time trainer Sal (Martin Landau) to whip "The King" into shape, Gordie and Sean run afoul of Gordie's father, who wants his son to settle down and become a cop like him. Meanwhile, curvaceous Sasha (Rose McGowan) moves in on Gordie, but has ulterior motives. So does The King's son (Tait Smith), who's willing to put his girth to good use in order to exact revenge on his dad for abandoning him. Ready to Rumble features a large cast of real-life WCW wrestlers portraying themselves. McGowan and Arquette previously appeared together in Wes Craven's Scream. Lewis Arquette, the star's father, also appears alongside his son as he did in Scream 2. Brian J. Dillard, All Movie Guide

    June 25, 2007: A capable cast, diminished in no way by the hilarity of wrestlers trying to act outside of their normal screen parameters, and a pretty decent script all come together to make a movie by and about and largely starring a now defunct promotion! Even as a pro wrestling fan, I wasn't expecting much or anything from this movie, and didn't actually see it in theaters. Then, one day, I caught it on cable and I couldn't stop laughing! First of all, because I was so startled that not only did I remember the names and character types of every wrestler in the movie - someone explain to me WHY Disco Inferno was rated high enough to be turned into one of the main wrestler good guys at the end - but the movie itself was so damned funny! You can just tell that the two leads, David Arquette and Scott Caan, got the biggest kick out of working with and around and, possibly, in spite of the wrestling world. Martin Landau is absolutely, drop dead hysterical as Sal Bandini, a tribute to the classic style of "more Roman-Greco, less wrestling" style. Then you have Jimmy King, portrayed beautifully by Oliver Platt, representing wrestling at it's most camp - and considering that Sting, a man wearing The Crow makeup, wielding a baseball bat, and hiding in the rafters wearing a singlet is in the movie, that's saying something. Rose McGowan, I'm ashamed to say, is superfluous, but funny in her own way. And to this day I still don't know how much of that movie was ad-libbed. In any event, truly worth the purchase, because it's not just slapstick and scatalogical humor, although that's an important part. There's a lot of genuinely brilliant comedy. It doesn't hurt if you're a wrestling fan, though.
