well lets see . . . i'm not quite sure how to review this film , based on its laughter factor . well yeah i can , <NEG> it's not funny </NEG> . ok so i laughed one time which warranted the 1/2 star , but other than that i sat in my seat wondering when this pos would be over , ( which at a running time of 107 minutes <NEG> seemed like forever </NEG> ! ) . in fact , this could be <NEG> the un-funniest movie i've seen in a long time , if not the un-funniest </NEG> . let me be the first to say " ready to rumble " is <NEG> a huge disappointment </NEG> . long time wrestling lovers ( david and scott ) dream of making it to the wcw , and watching jimmy king wrestle . that is their hero of course , whom is kicked out of the wcw . well here is where the plot thickens ( lol ) : the two wish to rescue the king , and put him back into the wcw but not that easily , because they are being tampered with by many people who are out to get them , while david's father wants him to become a police officer , and scott is a loser who has to with the help of david clean out johnny on the spots . what a plot eh ? " ready to rumble " is one of those films that tries to be funny , but <NEG> sadly fails miserably </NEG> , everything in the film is <NEG> imcomprehinsable </NEG> , and even the trailer wasn't funny . <NEG> the actors are dull , the script awful </NEG> , and the plot which there isn't much of . . . . <NEG> really annoying </NEG> . i'm not quite sure how great actors like these , and very funny actors too , are given <NEG> such a lame script </NEG> , and directed in such a <NEG> childish manner </NEG> , that i wonder if hollywood is ever gonna make good films these days . this review isn't going to be very long because of the fact that there isn't much going for the film , if anything at all . only one big laugh is in the film , which isn't all that hilarious . i sat in my chair wondering with this 107 ( ! ! ! ! ! ) minute " comedy " was going to be over , and <NEG> sadly it went on forever </NEG> . i'm not sure if anything could have saved this film from being <NEG> such a total waste </NEG> , but believe me you , it is . reviewed by brandon herring 4/29/00 for more reviews please visit movie review central at http : //www . geocities . com/moviefan983/moviereviewcentral . html
