Knucklehead -- Film Review

Even the target audience of kids and wrestling fans are bound to be turned off by “Knucklehead,” the latest ill-fated attempt by World Wrestling Entertainment to parlay the appeal of one of its resident stars onto the big screen.

This lame comedy about a big doofus who enters the fight game manages to take every cliche in the book and render them even more cliched: the fast-talking hustler who turns out to have a conscience after all, the nun who can kick serious butt when necessary, the demure female chaperone who suddenly strips down to bra and panties during a bar fight and the 400-pound-plus behemoth who is just a kid at heart. They’re all here and more in this witless exercise.
