Here's one to warm the cockles of your heart. The Peanut Butter Falcon is a movie about a young man with Down syndrome who runs away from his nursing home with the ambition of becoming a professional wrestler.

WWE legends Mick Foley and Jake Roberts both co-star, presumably in roles similar to the one The Rock is playing in Fighting With My Family, i.e. I'm a famous wrestler, here's some wrestling advice, kid.

It sounds delightful on paper, although before you go getting ahead of yourself, here's a word of warning: Shia LeBeouf is also in it, which means there's an 80% chance it will absolutely suck.

Still, most wrestling fans will probably end up watching it out of a sense of duty. It's very rare that movies about the squared circle are made, and whenever they are, it's always interesting to see how Hollywood depicts the crazy world of pro-wrestling.
