A deli clerk gets a second chance to woo his high school sweetheart, a famous female professional wrestler, when she returns for their 10-year reunion.

Brad Wheeler

Globe and Mail

During the film's ending chaos, a confused ring announcer wonders if anyone even cares who won the match. Many will not.

Rated: 1/4

Film Threat

Chokeslam was a draft or two away from being ready to shoot. While the story is humorous, it lacked laugh out loud moments. It needed to find ways of telling a unique love story and adding the wrestling element to it wasn't enough.

Rated: 2.5/5

Chokeslam makes for a strangely entertaining fusion of comedy, romance, and sport that stands out in a sea of repetitive rom-coms.

This effort feels anachronistic.

Amanda Crew has natural comic abilities and also provides an excellent, common sense foil to personalities goofier than her own. She goes for something bigger and broader in Chokeslam, but the movie's too small for her talents.

Had director/co-writer Robert Cuffley narrowed his focus a little, he'd have probably come out with a better film -- or at least one that feels more coherent.

A fun film could be made from this premise, but the script is incompetent.

Pathetically boring. Why are so many bad movies made? No dynamic. No immediacy. Nothing original or interesting to say, and allegedly, its a comedy

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Lots of moment of hilarity. The wrestling aspects were made better by having real wrestlers in the ring with the cast. Chelsea Green's selling and projecting of offence makes everyone look better.
