Bigger, Stronger, Faster*

At its heart, this is the story of director Christopher Bell and his two brothers, who grew up idolizing muscular giants like Hulk Hogan, Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger, and who went on to become members of the steroid-subculture in an effort to realize their American dream. When you discover that your heroes have all broken the rules, do you follow the rules, or do you follow your heroes?

This documentary started off awesomely. It did a great job of showing what was going on with the three Bell brothers parallel to what was going on in society with the aforementioned "heroes" from back in the day. It was also really strange to me to remember Mike Bell from when I used to watch wrestling. He was one of those guys that would come out and wrestle one of the superstars and get totally squashed. Unfortunately, as it went on the documentary became more about the home life of the three brothers and they didn't really do a good job of getting the audience to emotionally connect with the family itself and they kind of lost the great steam that they had built up.

I'd still recommend people checking this out. Its definitely eye opening to say the least.
