Never back downnnnn...neva surrendaaaaaa!!!! Oops wrong movie ppphhhffrrrrttt

This movie is something. I oddly enjoyed it, but the plot is a giant mess and I was never sure where it is going next. You see the premise. You know how it will end. The journey of how you get there almost feels like it is out of a Harold & Kumar movie. Is that bad? Probably. However, there is still some merit here.

Is it possible this film is getting worse as time goes by?

Sylvester Stallone leads the cast in Over the Top, a campy and heartwarming family film. The story follows long haul truck driver Lincoln Hawk as he takes his estranged son Mike on a road trip, but he’ll have to fight to keep him when Mike’s grandfather attempts to get custody. The plot’s not that bad, except for when it tries to be a sports film about arm wrestling (which is kind of weird). Still, the arm wrestling championship is so incredibly cheesy that it’s fun. And Stallone has the charisma to sell just about anything, making it rather easy to go on this ride with him. Additionally, the film has a great soundtrack that features some classic ‘80s hits such as “Meet Me Half Way” and “Winner Takes It All.” It’s has some problems, but overall Over the Top is an entertaining and heartfelt film about family.

Stallone bonding with his son is charming. The arm wrestling scenes are nothing too special though. Just Stallone arm wrestling loud mouth muscle heads.
Then teaching his son to arm wrestle loud mouth punk kids. Cute movie otherwise.

Winner takes it alllllll, fight from the beginningggg. Logic out the window for this one.

We need more arm wrestling movies like this.

The name Over the Top is perfect for this movie since it is over the top sentimental. However it’s still a sweet father and son bonding movie.

Tbh, this movie was really over the top.
