Ready to Rumble clearly isn't the greatest movie ever because of its genre, but it does have a clear intention, to focus in on teens and major wrestling fans. Ready to Rumble stars David Arquette ("Scream Trilogy", "Beautiful Girls", "Johns"), Oliver Platt ("Funny Bones", "Lake Placid", "Flatliners"), Scott Caan ("Gone in 60 Seconds","Varsity Blues"), Joe Pantoliano ("The Matrix", TV's "The Sopranos") and Martin Landau ("Ed", "The X-Files").
 Basically, Gordy (Arquette) and Sean (Caan)are die-hard wrestling fans and their favorite wrestler, Jimmy King (Platt) just got kicked out of the WCW and won't be able to return. King got a heavy beating from other wrestlers and his boss, Titus Sinclair (Pantoliano). Now, its up to Gordy and Sean to get Jimmy King back into the ring and become the world wrestling champ once again. King must face Diamond Dallas Page (as himself)again, after he was slaughtered by Page to win back the title. He'll also have to face other wrestlers. Gordy gets help from the head nirto girl, Sasha (Rose McGowan, "Scream","Jawbreaker" TV's "Charmed"). Sean also finds love. Sting and Stone Cold play themselves.
 This movie is basically about two morons who want to get the favorite wrestler back into the ring. It's crude, lewd and bad. It does have some comedic brilliance, but not enough of class, style, or a good script. 2 stars is all I'm giving this movie because it lacks a great plot and certain cinematic brilliances. Arquette, Platt, and Caan are great actors, but this is the lowest for all of them. Arquette, a great actor, is in a stupid movie that really has no taste and holds no significant point. This movie is only recommended to wrestling fans. For all of the others, good luck! And yes, Scott Caan is the son of legendary actor James Caan.
