Ready to Rumble is a very stupid comedy. How stupid? Two wrestling fans try and get Oliver Platt, a wrestler who lost a match due to treachery from a crappy manager, to wrestle again for the WCW. They visit Martin Landau, who whips Oliver Platt into shape. Sounds funny yet? This movie is full of stupid jokes, most of them not funny. The two fans hitch a ride with a bunch of nuns on a bus. When they get off they have the following conversation:
FAN 1: Dude, I cant believe you farted in that van! FAN 2: It wasnt me Was it you? FAN 1: No Who was it? FAN 2: It was the nuns! FAN 1: I cant believe we were in a van with farting nuns!
Another scene unapologetically rips off of Mallrats in an opening scene at a 7-Eleven:
FAN 1: Man this slurpee is good Aw man, Im almost out! FAN 2: Doesnt it cost money for a refill? FAN 1: Yeah, and Im all out I have an idea. Fan 1 sticks a hand down his pants and leaves it near his ass for a minute before he takes it out and rubs the hand on the straw. He goes to the CLERK to complain. FAN 1: This slurpee sucks! It smells like ass! CLERK: What do you mean? The Clerk smells the cup. CLERK: Ugh, this smells like crap! Ill get you another cup for free.
Need I anymore proof about how bad this movie is? I give Ready to Rumble
