The Iron Claw—tremendous performance by Zac Efron—relies on a great cast to tell a great sports story. Even though the movie shows the tougher side of professional wrestling, it's a unique story that needs to be told. There is some sexual content that is easy to skip. This movie does not follow the Von Erich story exactly (for instance showing five sons instead of six) but it still shows the dominance of the father and the willingness of the sons to follow in his footsteps.

Buy a
ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?
Yes. This a great film overall and tells a great story. great acting...realistic.
The Greatest Showman—beautifully presented, backed with outstanding music
and dancing—is wonderful. The singing is some of the best a movie could have
and brings both joy and excitement. This piece reminds one of why we go to the
movies and deserves its addition to the home video library collection. It tells
the P. T. Barnum story with finesse, dignity, and integrity. Great to see Hugh
Jackman pull this off so well and the terrific choice of Zac Efron as a
business partner. WOW!!! What a treat! No ‘shab’ here. It’s a film that will soar
in popularity through the years.

Thank you to all involved in production.
17 Again highlightsthe personable Zac Efron’s acting skill. It’s one of
his best films since High School Musical and emphasizes him as a
high-profile actor. It’s good to see Matthew Perry, Leslie Mann, and Jim
Gaffigan in the movie. The basic
storyline of this film is not new and not creative, but the message has been so
skillfully woven into the dialogue and timing of the scenes that the movie
serves at a much higher level than others that have dealt with this subject
matter. The resolution is better and seems to reflect a reality nearer to truth
than similarly made films. It’s a refreshing watch and a good holiday watch.
