Peter Falk is well cast as the manager of a women's wrestling tag team. His quirky dialogue, which quotes everyone from Will Rogers to Toulouse-Lautrec, makes the film eminently watchable. Some of the location shooting early in the film features a dreary landscape of factories in Ohio, a nice contrast to the traveling threesome. However, it can't decide if it wants to be a serious movie about the working class or a wrestling comedy. Things really drag in an extended wrestling match at the end, one that runs close to 30 minutes, with no comic relief.
