My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Code Red)
Documentary about the life of a lower middle-class worker in a Dayton, Ohio, tire factory who dreams of leaving his job to become a roller derby star. This guy is a real winner: he wears sunglasses all the time, he cheats on his wife and brags about it on film, he skips work and lies about it, etc. His friends are not much better, mostly white trash who use pornography for wallpaper. And roller derby? A "sport" in which people watch solely for the numerous fights. Then-daring documentary approach to its subject saturates reality television today.
