It’s really bad, I kept watching thinking it had to get better because the story it’s based on is so interesting, and it has a lot of good elements, but the whole thing is just like a compost pile, it’s a big stinky mess of formerly useful elements that needs time or work to be something good again. The framing device with the pregnant reporter is so forced, painful and clunky I just started fast forwarding through it to get to the good parts. It would have been good if they cut all of it out. It also has a bunch of things that are just plain annoying: too many scenes of people giving exposition with mouths full while eating? Who thinks that’s a good idea? And the classic “dialogue while brushing teeth” scene, my personal TV/Movie Pet Peeve. The soundtrack is annoying, too. The only reason I watched the whole thing was because I had unusually bad period cramps and Laverne Cox is a national treasure. Someone needs to edit it so it’s only her scenes and it would be great.

Who doesn't want to see what it was like growing up in the 80's and 90's with pro-wrestlers as your family and their friends? Every 80's kid's fantasy. It's the good hearted, funny, nostalgic fix I need right now.
