Anabolizante - Em Busca do Corpo Perfeito

As someone who bodybuilds himself for years, I got lured into watching this film. It could have been done much better. The premier was there, it just wasn't made properly. Nonetheless. A decent watch if you are into the world of bodybuilding

I watch loads of films! every day, so id like to think of myself as rather well traveled when it comes to movies in general, this movie, was fantastic, Chris Levines acting was superb, and the movie did exactly what it set out to do, at the end i felt sad and rather emotional, it put my in the main characters shoes, and really does make you think about body image and self image etc...

would highly recommend watching it!! can honestly say this for me, is one of the best movies i have seen this year so far! well done to the writers, actors, producers and whole crew you have made a good film. :)

This was a really well done indie film about a topic that is not discussed much. Well shot, good acting all around. Kept me entertained and moved me. We talk a lot about women's issues with body image, but men have them as well. It's a problem that is pervasive in our society, so I applaud the filmmakers for taking it on.

I was expecting garbage, since I was mostly studio movies and only do independent if they've gained a name. However, this one I was pleasantly surprised. Although the main actor's face is a bit hard to look at for 2 hours, he did a good job, and the movie came together with a good supporting cast. It told the story well, and I felt the emotion and trauma that people were going through. It was a little predictable, only downfall. Despite someone else's comments the dialogue is all necessary to the plot development and I thought lines were delivered well.

The basic concept of this film could be an interesting one if treated in the correct manner. Unfortunately, the title and blurb give the entire plot away - young dweeb turns to steroids to make up for his insecurities & inadequacies but falls victim to addiction and the fabled 'roid rage'. There really is nothing more to the plot than that...

The dialogue is laughable (especially that of the lead character's father in the final scenes), and the only cast members who come out of this with any dignity are Thai Edwards and Cameron Barsanti.

The guy playing the lead role looks like Brian Peppers and is portrayed as a total loser at the start of the film - there is zero credibility to his relationship with his girlfriend.

It seems odd that 'Kali Muscle' appears so high on the cast billing - his contribution lasts no longer than 10 seconds and includes no dialogue.

Ignore the fake reviews - this is a total dud.
