Chris Marquette stars as Corey, a very mild mannered deli clerk who seems to have a hell of a life. His job is boring, his life is boring and his mother is domineering and controlling.
His 10th reunion for highschool is coming up and he decides to take a second chance at the girl he proposed to and she turned him down. That girl is now a beautiful woman named Sheena DeWilde (Amanda Crew) who is also an accomplished professional wrestler named Smasheena.
Corey tries everything he can to get Sheena to be his, but he's always met by disaster or other peoples interference. He manages to set up a wrestling card in his small town and have Smasheena headline it as a retirement match.
This is a fun and enjoyable romantic comedy, and it really holds your attention. The characters are all people someone can relate to. This also has Mick Foley and Lance Storm in the cast which gives it a real flavor of pro wrestling on the small circuit.
There are a lot of wonderful set pieces here and I am rather shocked this film isn't better known. I have read a lot of bad things about this movie, but I liked it. Amanda Crew is beautiful in the lead role and her character works very well with Marquette's Corey.
A fun, light film that should please some people. Give it a try, you might like it.
