To the Mat

About This Movie

To the Mat is a quirky little film that blends comedy and romance in a surprisingly entertaining way. The laid-back ex-wrestler, played by Ricky Schroder, brings this relaxed vibe that contrasts sharply with Laura Bell Bundy's uptight Wall Street consultant. It’s got this charming, small-town Southern atmosphere that feels both humorous and genuine. The pacing is enjoyable, taking its time to explore the relationship between these two characters as they navigate their differences. It dives into themes of family, loyalty, and the struggle to keep dreams alive, all while wrapped in lighthearted antics. The performances have an easy chemistry that makes the viewer want to root for their success, making it a distinct and pleasant watch.
