Preview: Perfect Sport (2009)

Synopsis:

A high school wrestler must challenge himself, mentally, physically and perhaps even pharmaceutically, to be the better when his naturally-gifted sister wrestler joins the boys team.

• Poster: D+

Review:

The blocky style of the poster is off-putting. It seems more the kind of thing you might see in a guidance-councilor's office without any of the helpful statements under the differently-chaped images. The colors are, thankfully, darker thus making it a little less obtrusive, but nowhere near interesting.

• Trailer: C

Review:

Not being a fan of sports films, even those of indie blood where an athlete must choose between failure and the use of steroids without any of the Hollywood flair for the dramatic, but this trailer moves along sluggishly and doesn't really tell us much about wht kind of quality the film will possess.

Oscar Prospects:

I'm very doubtful the film will make it even as far as Oscar consideration.
