Aging wrestler Randy "The Ram" Robinson is long past his prime but still ready and rarin' to go on the pro-wrestling circuit. After a particularly brutal beating, however, Randy hangs up his tights, pursues a serious relationship with a long-in-the-tooth stripper, and tries to reconnect with his estranged daughter. But he can't resist the lure of the ring and readies himself for a comeback.

Sorry, this movie sucks
It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
Mickey Rourke's resurrection as an actor by playing Randy 'The Ram' Robinson in The Wrestler. A great piece about aging, loneliness, regrets, and finally atonement, reconciliation, finding peace and dignity.Darren Aronofsky shows us life as it is with characters from everyday life on the "loser's sidewalk" of life. A great drama embedded in the world of the circus of small-scale wrestling, trailer parks, and small town suburbs and small dreams. The Wrestler, next to The Fountain my favorite movie of Mr. Aronofsky. Masterpiece.
Great movie,must watch for all the wrestling fans.it has everything a fan could ask for.even if you are not a wrestling fan,it would work for you too.you will see and feel the life of all wrestlers around the world
As an ex-deli boy myself, this movie legit gave me P T S D. I kinda liked how Mickey Rourke's career path mirrors my own, and by that I mean, get lit and yell "I quit" at people. Stoich was real savage. I didn't like how Darren Aronofsky buys into the whole "wrastling is fake"-meme, but whatsoever's. Undertaker could behead him in a single clothesline.
The Wrestler is like a newspaper story made into a movie: "Old, dirty, drug-abusing wrestler gets a second chance. Ruins it because he's a selfish idiot". A waste of talent, time and money.It's just a meaningless movie with an unlikeable main character (not that the other characters are saints either). It's strange world we live in, where people want to see movies about jerks who do drugs, sleep around, fail their loved ones and destroy their lives. That depressing garbage like The Wrestler called art by some is also a mystery (well, not really...these days, taking a crap in public makes you an artistic genius).Someone already did the unlikeable loser ruins everything-stuff many years ago in a Swedish silent movie called "The Phantom Carriage", but they did it the right way. That movie is also dark and ugly in parts, but doesn't resort to profanity and pointless nudity to tell the story. It didn't have a stupid ending either. Or you could just watch Santo in the Wax Museum instead...
