 TheMovieBoy Review: Ready to Rumble (2000)
The quality (or lack thereof) of "Ready to Rumble," an atrociously ill-advised comedy directed by Brian Robbins (1999's "Varsity Blues"), can be boiled down to one statement: take "Dumb & Dumber," add a wrestling angle to the storyline, and strip the proceedings of all signs of wit, interest, and laughs.
"Ready to Rumble" is the type of nonsensical movie that one watches with a detached air in between them and the screen, until the moment when they question how something of such incredible vacuity was ever greenlit by the studio.
There are amusing low-brow comedies (1980's "Airplane!," anything from the Farrelly brothers--heck, even 1996's "Happy Gilmore"), and then there are movies like "Ready to Rumble," that amaze you with their sheer stupidity and unwillingness to create anything that is the least bit worthy of wasting two hours of your life with.

 "Ready to Rumble" - Salon   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
What really puts "Ready to Rumble" over the top into delirious delight, however, is the hysterical, completely deadpan performance of Oliver Platt as Jimmy King, a swaggering wrestling icon with a scepter, cape and pasteboard crown that would look cheesy at the Tulsa Renaissance Faire.
Gordie and Sean's response is not just the central question behind "Ready to Rumble" but behind the remarkable rebirth of wrestling in general: "How can you be fake if we believe in you?" It should be obvious by now that wrestling's very fakeness is the source of much of its popularity.
If "Ready to Rumble" becomes far more predictable as it enlists popular wrestlers like Page, Goldberg, Sting and Sid Vicious in a number of arena-scale battles along King's path back to his throne, it never loses its outsize, trashy sense of humor.

 READY TO RUMBLE movie review (with photos and clips where possible)
There are a lot of rhymes you can make with rumble -- as in Ready to Rumble -- but none of them seems pejorative enough.
Rated PG-13 for the same kind of blood, sex and profanity that routinely air on TV's version of professional wrestling, Ready to Rumble is a movie aimed at that vast audience of 12-year-olds whose parents ignore their viewing habits.
Caan, who bears an eerie resemblance to his father (one-time Oscar nominee James Caan) comes off as likable -- or maybe it's just that he's teamed with Arquette, who proves that he can be even more irritating than he is on those long-distance commercials.

He’s also the “People’s Champion” (how’d I miss that election?) and the hero of Ready To Rumble’s two protagonists, who watch in horror as their idol is shafted out of his title as the film opens.
Rumble is lewd and crude from the get-go, with its opening scene featuring Gordie sticking a finger up his own pooper to con a Slurpee out of a convenience store employee played by the perpetually annoying Ahmet Zappa (webRiot).
In addition to portraying wrestling as “real,” Rumble also does a horrible job of casting Platt in the role of a wrestling champion.

The quote has been used extensively in the media to hype sporting events.
It is also used in the video game series Ready 2 Rumble Boxing and was the main lyric in hit singles Let's Get Ready to Rumble (USA) by Michael Buffer and Let's Get Ready to Rhumble by PJ and Duncan.
WWE wrestling stable D-Generation X does a variation of Buffer's famous speech; the only difference is the word "rumble" is replaced with the infamous DX catchphrase "suck it".
