    This is a really cool film. I lvoed every second of it. Was really suprised at the lengths some kids go - in fact it is really scary. Am glad this film didn't take a snobby attitude as most people who don't appreciate wrestling do. Loved it!

    This underground scene makes other "extreme sports" look as harmless as tiddlywinks.

    Remarkable for the intensity of the interviewees, who show a new kind of all-American gumption in the way they filter the mannerisms of low-rung celebrities through their own geeked-out, violent imaginations.

    The Backyard will affect you. If you were depressed about the future of America before, you'll be doubly depressed after seeing this film. Pass the Prozac.
