The Reunion has no pretensions of originality, and maybe that's just fine. It's relaxing to watch formula roll in front of you if that formula is engaged with affection, and that's the case here, much to the credit of the writer and director, Mike Pavone. Read full review

Cena handles rough stuff like a pro, and his poker-faced wisecracking isn't bad. But he probably shouldn't quit his day job. Read full review

A lame action-comedy that seems ready made for undiscerning late-night cable viewing. Read full review

The action is wan, the laughs hard to come by. Read full review

Importing WWE's brand of hokey fighting--the most memorable scene, during which Cena jumps from a ledge onto a helicoper, recalls in-the-ring rope-jumping than anything else--into a place where there is an alarming amount of real bloodshed seems unnecessary and somewhat imperious. Read full review

Mainly for those who are already infatuated with Cena's stoic, Mount Rushmore-esque countenance and who do not find the idea of the big lug leaping off the edge of a cliff onto an airborne helicopter's landing gear remotely absurd. Read full review

A flabby, unfunny action-comedy produced, directed and written by former WWE exec VP Mike Pavone, The Reunion boasts one of the most poorly assembled scripts to emerge from the wrestling franchise. Read full review

I think it was a pretty good movie. John Cena is a much better actor that some of the other wrestlers that have tried! Compared to others I have seen lately, it has a little of everything in it, action, humor, and a story line.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A decent movie with good acting. Defently aims at alot of groups. Humor, action etc. My only problem with the movie was the lady firing the shotgun from a long distance, twice in the movie, and killing someone. We all know, or atleast most of us, that shotguns are meant up close and only work that way. Unless it was pure luck shots, which it must have been, that was the only really bad thing in the movie. It had a nice ending, with moral in it. Some movies end without moral and sad, twisted endings. This isn't one of them, so well done on that one. Cena was surprisingly good as an actor, I wouldn't mind seeing him act in more films in the future.… Expand

It was just your average WWE movie. Cliché, predictable, filled with plot holes and uneven acting performances. But, it was pretty entertaining, Ethan Embry was excellent and it was fun to watch. If you like WWE movies, you should appreciate this one.
