I am a wrestling fan and I think that ruined the enjoyment of the film. I knew a lot of things (the drug use, the mental illnesses, the existence of the youngest brother Chris) about the actual story that the film left out or glossed over. But I will say the cast did a great job (even if everyone other than Zac Efron didn't look like the people they were portraying - I mean, these were monster men in real life and the actor they got to portray Kerry looked nothing like him). I was also expecting more emotional weight but the movie wasn't nearly long enough to truly cover the immense tragedy of the Von Erichs. However, if you're not a wrestling fan? You'll probably find this to be a beautiful film.
