I rented this flick from Amazon a couple of nights ago, and it was really good.
It stars Paul Giamatti, Amy Ryan, Jeffery Tambor, Burt Young, Bobby Cannavale and introducing Alex *****

The plot is really complicated, so all I'm gonna say is, rent it!
It involves high school wrestling, so if you ever did, or were a fan of REAL wrestling, you probably will enjoy this movie.
The 1st half of the movie is quite funny, with Bobby Cannavale playing a great head case, with some classic lines.
The 2nd half is where the drama comes in. It's basically a feel good movie, which succeeds.
If a 'living heart donor' like myself enjoyed this movie, chances are, so will you.
Average viewer rating on Amazon is 4.5 stars, and I concur. It's that good:cool:


*At the age of 17, Alex **** was the NJ state wrestling champion. The kid shows it too!:wink:
I refuse to argue with idiots, because people can't tell the DIFFERENCE!

    I'll second this....

    My GF picked it up on sale somewhere for like $7.99 on BluRay. Very dry, understated humor, but good none the less. It is a feel good story, and maybe a little mooshy, but it is done very well. And with Paul Giamatti you really can't go wrong.

    I'd give it 4/5
