Many of you may have seen the dark, but comical previews for the movie, Pain & Gain, in theaters today. From the trailers with three overly buff men running around in neon green body suits, muscles galore and ninja costumes — I thought the movie looked hilarious. It was not until I started writing this blog that I discovered that this movie is based on a true story and has sparked quite a controversial response from victims and their families.
From the first trailer I saw, I knew that Pain & Gain would be a hilarious mix of comedy and action with a splash of eye candy! Who wouldn’t want to see an incredibly muscular Mark Walberg and Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson? As I began to research movie times, I started to see links that mentioned the controversy surrounding this movie and the reasons why some people think that it should not have gone to the big screen.
