The Wrestler is a simple movie that follows washed out pro Robin Ramzinski (a.k.a. Randy "The Ram" Robinson) as he finds wrestling gigs in American Legion Halls and tries to connect with an aging stripper and his estranged daughter. You'll laugh, you'll cry, but mostly you'll fall in love with The Ram in all of his puffy, self-tanned, steroid-filled glory. It's a great movie and definitely my favorite of 2008. My only criticism is casting pretty Marisa Tomei as "old stripper from a crappy strip club in New Jersey." Am I honestly supposed to believe that she's not getting any tips because of her looks? I've been to crappy strip clubs in New Jersey, and someone who looks like Tomei would get pah-lenty of cash. Honestly, anyone without pimples on their butt and who's not 3 months pregnant would be a fresh change in those places.
