Fancypants

About This Movie

Fancypants is a curious blend of comedy and drama that really tugs at the heartstrings. The pacing has this sort of ebb and flow, capturing the highs and lows of a once-glamorous wrestler named Leo who’s now wrestling with his own fears. The atmosphere is a bit quirky, juxtaposing the loud, colorful world of wrestling with Leo's internal struggles. The kid, who looks up to him, adds this innocent layer that makes you rethink what it means to be a hero. There’s a certain rawness to the practical effects during the wrestling scenes, showing a more human side of the sport. Performances are solid, especially how they capture vulnerability. It’s not your typical family flick, that's for sure.
