The Main Event

This Movie is about an 11 year old boy called Leo Thompson (played by Seth Carr). He has a passion for WWE and hopes one day that he could possibly even make it and become one of its Superstars. Leo and his 2 best friends Riyaz (played by Aryan Simhadri) and Caleb (played by Glen Gordon) are not what you call "the popular kids" and do seem to catch the attention of Trevor (played by Josh Zaharia), the school bully. One of the times that Trevor is chasing Leo, Leo stumbles across an old wrestling mask like the ones worn by the Mexican Lucha Libre. This is the point things change for Leo. I do think that the target audience for this one is children and teens and obviously WWE fans, the children and teens will get the funny parts, the silliness that adults may not, the messages that are within the movie are plain for all to see and maybe relate to. If you do not like WWE, then i think that you maybe shouldn't watch this movie. For you WWE fans, with it being an official WWE title, then you do see some of their Superstars making appearances.

A kid who's a fan of the wrestling tournament culture feels like an outcast with the constant bullying in school. Meanwhile he lives a steady relationship at home, despite the absence of his mother. His mechanic father struggles to spend more time with him, and his Instagram icon-in-the-making grandmother does everything possible to discipline him. In one of his attempts to escape his school's opponents, he finds an old magical mask giving him super wrestling power which leads him to the covet professional tournament filled with evil competitor, specially a monster-like giant and his ambitiously greed agent. A refreshing and funny family comedy about finding your voice and strength, the film is highly recommended for all ages. At times silly but tender and efficient, it also looks at innocence and friendship values through the kid's interaction with his two best friends and his crush. Finally a decent production made for laughter without any buttocks jokes or other similarities. Fast paced, well conceived and convincingly performed, it's a feel good family gem.
