Our friends over at Popcorn Junkies have reviewed The Wrestler, giving it a very high rating. Here is an excerpt…

The Wrestler really surprised me. I wasn’t expecting to leave the theater feeling such an emotional connection to a wrestler. I’ve always seen the sport as a joke. It’s not real, after all, is it? Now I have a new appreciation for it and for the men and women who wrestle. If it weren’t for Mickey Rourke and the brave performance he’s given, I wouldn’t be recommending this movie so wholeheartedly. No one could have pulled off this role the way he has. The Wrestler is not to be missed.
