Do we really not have a Pain and Gain thread?

I did laugh a few times, but I was disappointed in the movie overall.
Some of the stuff just didn't seem real, and they seemed like they put more emphasis on lifting when the movie was more about a kidnapping. It was ok, but GI Joe and Iron Man are on my list next.

I did Wikipedia the movie and a lot of that stuff really happened. Crazy.

Did you miss the part where it said it was a true story? They were playin individuals that were weightlifting, kidnapping morons so every part of the plot was fitting based on actual events and personalities of those involved. Of course they were dramatized a bit but if you read the 3 part article written in the Miami newspaper in the 90s about the real course of events with these guys then you'd prolly see the movie in a different light. Everyone should read the article before they see it. Here's the link to it Invalid Link Removed

I actually thought the movie was going to be crazier since the true story was more messed up then what you see on screen but they did capture the key parts.

Read my last sentence Mike....
I'm going to check out the article.
 
Movie wasn't that good, also to long for the type of movie it I'd. I should have waited for in on VOD/DVD
 
Watching this movie and have it paused. It's at the 49 minute mark and it's almost so bad I want to shut it off. Don't know if I'll even finish watching it. Terrible terrible movie!
