A chance visit to a local Gym, combined with absolute desperation, gives Leo an idea that’s so crazy it just may work. The Mr. Miami bodybuilding championship is coming up, with a grand prize that will cover his brother’s debts. The only problem is that Leo’s not a bodybuilder, but with stakes this high he goes for it, with hilarious action-packed results!
Reviews
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
