    There’s something pure and real about this film that’s so enjoyable. I like big Hollywood blockbusters, but it’s movies like Win Win that find their way to my heart and make it a little bigger.

    I love every bit of this movie. By far my favorite thing about this movie is that it was shot at my high school. 2.99 to see my old high school is just amazing.

    Outstanding drama , way pull out a sport nobody cares about anymore and do this with it. All your jokes in the movie were at the wright place at the wright time . Outstanding choice of actors , you sadly put in kids in their 20's for the wrestlers . But in the end it was an alright movie.

    A winner of a movie, with a good deal more complexity to the characters all round than the typical formula plot of an athlete finding his mission and destiny in overcoming the odds to finally win the championship. What made Alex Schaffer as Kyle special for me was he really was a wrestler, something another wrestler instinctively knows when he sees one. That hooked me right away because Kyle's family conflicts and concerns were the real deal, and I was excited to see how his role would play it as it did, with a genuine feel of authenticity because he was authentically a wrestler in real life, with the unique challenges and obstacles that set wrestling apart from any other sport. Wrestling is spiritual, not only a game but a way of life. Kyle recovered his life as he recovered from his wrecked family relations. Kudos to Paul Giammati for successfully negotiating the fine line between drama and comedy. He was real to me, too, as was the mother, the fumbling assistant coach, and the hot shot, the faker who gains self-respect. Congratulations all around for a fine effort and a winning movie.

    Great acting and story. Doesn't move terribly fast, but kept my interest 100%.
