WWE Films has been pretty busy as of late and it seems that there not quitting anytime soon. John Cena has a new movie out, Ted DiBiase did The Marine 2, after Cena starred in the first and in 12 Rounds. Not the best of movies, but I do have to say that I am very impressed with this one. Paul "Big Show" Wight of the WWE actually made a good movie and it's not your normal action movie like the WWE likes to make, it's a comedy. The big show plays a 35 year old orphan knuckle head that still lives at an orphanage and he's such an idiot that he burnt down the kitchen and the orphanage now needs 25,000 in order to stay open. This is where Eddie Sullivan (Royal Pains's Mark Feuerstein), a washed up former fighter/trainer who has such a gambling problem that he is in debt to another crime lord/manager (Denis Farina). There's a week until a big money tournament is happening in New Orleans and Eddie needs a fighter. Well, he has one know as Sister Francesca tells Walter to redeem himself by fighting. What an interesting journey they take as Walter fights in a Jewish Synagogue, to a kids backyard, carnival, etc. There are a lot of great laughs and the movie is just enjoyable. Feuerstein and Melora Hardin (who plays Mary, she's forced to tag along to make sure Walter is OK) do a wonderful job on screen and The Big Show is just absolutely terrific and he shows some real potential. I give this movie a A- because I had a great time watching it.
