    By Tom Charity from LOVEFiLM

    Fans of Sideways will be just as impressed with Paul Giamatti's latest comedy-drama, Win Win.

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    The trailer for Win Win doesn’t do the film any justice. This isn’t a film about wrestling at all, just as The Blind Side wasn’t a film about football for example. It features wrestling sure, but it could be any sport and shouldn’t put anybody off.

    In a similar way as City Island, Win Win features a father hiding a secret from his family. And the similarities don’t end there. Win Win is a great little film that hasn’t been given a wide release and wont make much at the box office perhaps because of a lack of any real star appeal, but it is an under-rated, dark comedy drama featuring some great acting and a solid debut from Alex Shaffer as troubled Kyle.

    As with the Blind Side, Win Win features a well intentioned adult mentoring a troubled youngster in a sometimes heart warming, sometimes brutally realistic tale. And there’s enough in the story line to keep the audience interested to the end with the feeling that the lie might unravel at any moment.

    As usual another good Paul Giamatti film. He is always entertaining and reminded me of Little Miss Sunshine type of film. Some good one liners and very entertaining.

    A very good movie. A strange one, maybe, but nonetheless intelligent and moving. Great acting, some moments are really funny!

    Really enjoyed this film, very good story about a wrestling coach and his team. He stumbles across a new talent and takes him under his wing. Not focused around wrestling. Well made film worth watching.

    Rated - 2.5 stars  
    By carbon (8 reviews) from Wigan , 05 Jan 2013
    I found this film to be very slow. there's a good samaritan element but its kinda list. Its one all the family could watch, if they can stay with it. Good actors shame about the story. The end was confusing.
