Fancypants: Directed by Joshua Russell. With Patrick Gleason, Roddy Piper, Robert Carradine, Jackson Dunn. The story of a professional wrestler who’s afraid of conflict in real life

“Iu0026#39;m the kind of guy who cries during the feed the birds scene in Mary Poppins. I donu0026#39;t think itu0026#39;s mushy, I think itu0026#39;s simple and profound. Fancypants does this for me. The truths are deep and theyu0026#39;re told in a simple way. there is nothing new in the film that you havenu0026#39;t seen before but it is told with honesty. My inner child liked it and my 50 yr old wrestling fan brain liked it. Plus thereu0026#39;s Piper! Iu0026#39;m also a big fan of Independent film. I love the quirky humor of Wes Anderson. If youu0026#39;re looking for it, you can see the influence in the jokes, I did. The lead, Patrick Gleason, is believable and sympathetic. I like Tommy too. He must have some back ground in the theater. Iu0026#39;ve seen the wrestler and now Iu0026#39;ve seen Fancypants. I like the ending better in the latter. Nuff said.”
