Featured review
Dumbbells is proof that Evolution can work in reverse
Does liking this movie make me a dumb person? If it does I don't really care. I enjoyed this docu-drama-comedy-romance low budget style film and I will be watching it again at some point. The three main characters were enjoyable and interesting characters. Brian Drolet who plays Chris Long a highly touted college basketball star who gets injured before he can sign his first big professional contract ends up being relegated to work at a misfit gym which goes under new management.
The new owner of the gym is a guy named Jack Guy (Hoyt Richards) who has plenty of charisma and high expectations of his staff but unfortunately he is currently having a significant cash flow problem. Jack Guy's character is so irritating that you can't help but like him and his array of wigs and if that makes any sense at all then you, will also enjoy the film as much as I did.
The third main character is gym owner Jack Guy's attractive niece Rachel Corelli (Taylor Cole) who is hired by Jack as an instructor at his dumpy gym which Jack intends to turn around with plenty of advertising and a bunch of hot girls plugging his product.
Getting back to the main character the down on his luck former college basketball star Chris Long who is torn between two relationships his former shallow but hot looking girlfriend Kim Hertz (Mircea Monroe) and his recently new co-worker Rachel Corelli who is down to earth and very supportive of Chris's ability to succeed and in his pursuit of happiness.
It is well worth a higher score than the picture is indicating so far and as such I rate it as a 7 out of 10 IMDb review score.
