The critics have been sucking off The Wrestler like it has the antidote in it ever since it hit the festival circuit a couple months ago.  Now it’s scheduled for a limited release December 31st, to expand to more theaters a couple weeks later.  Mickey Rourke plays washed up pro wrestler Randy The Ram Robinson and number one Hollywood cougar Marisa Tomei plays his stripper love interest.

Here’s my impression of the trailer: Darren Aronofsky!  Critical acclaim! Strippers!  Middle America!  Blue collar jobs! Springsteen!  Makin’ ends meet! Redemption! “Tell mah daughter ah love ‘er!”  Fade to black.

God this is going to be so awesome.
