This is one of my favorite comedies of all time.

Most people love the scene where Branch Warren shows his expert riding skills, but I love when Ben Pakulski is in the lab with those scientists, proving that he's the thinking man's bodybuilder.

If poor Ben had even just average genetics there's no doubt in my mind he'd win multiple Olympias. Could you imagine the physique Kai or Phil would have if they had access to Bens training methods and scientists!

The Paluski scene, I feel kinda bad for him. Horrible genetics, just terrible. But he still got 2cnd at the Arnold once! That's a good payday, but that must all be gone by now.

I bet all the advertisers were fighting over who gets to be seen during that movie, lol...

i dont understand why he was so arrogant though? he knows he hasn't got a chance against the genetic elite but still makes silly claims about winning the whole thing.
was always gonna end in embarrassment, claiming to be a favourite for winning it and ending up outside of top 10 or whatever it was.

Kai i reckon is the only one capable of drawing in some sort of public interest outside of bodybuilding circles.
the rest have about as much charisma as bowl of bran flakes

It's all about the mind set I guess. Can't go in thinking you will get 12th. Especially when you consider the cost of using so much GH.

I gave the music and narration-voice a thumbs down. But, a thumbs up for passion with a plucky spirit.

The whole thing was a piece of shit

It was funny when Ben was talking about Phil...
While Phil is sitting in a bubble bath reading Heavy Hitters Magazine.

Grandma was the star of the show, the way she tucked winkler into his bed and then later told him off for staying up past his bedtime surfing the net was a standout moment for me.

I tried watching it on Netflix with my girlfriend once,
the shame that I started feeling sitting next to her after about 5 minutes made me turn it off quick.

That is what bodybuilding has become.

Very dramatic scene with Phil jogging and Dennis auditioning

When Dennis tripped walking into the audition..
