My Dad Is a Heel Wrestler (2018) User Reviews

Great movie

[jodyshealy · 8/10 · 30 November 2019]

And by great I don't mean acting or anything but it's clear what you're getting from the start-an explanation of pro wrestling's system of heels and faces that's clear for anyone to understand. The acting is pretty good, directing and music are wonderful and this was a great vehicle for New Japan Pro Wrestling to get their stars over in a more personal way. More sentimental and overall better than anything WWE has put out in movies involving wrestlers. Highly recommended:)

Nice movie even if you aren't into wrestling

I'm not really a fan of wrestling, so I wasn't sure if I would like it. But it's actually more of a family movie and the wrestling part is just the medium to tell a father-son relationship story. The characters are likeable and it's quite an endearing film with a lot of heart. You also learn to appreciate the immense physical strain that guys in the wrestling business are subjecting themselves to. Even if it's goofy and the fighting isn't real, you can't fake a jump from two meters back first onto the boards.

Phenomenal!

This movie is absolutely amazing and it also goes to show why I'm such a big fan of New Japan Pro Wrestling.
