Robert Abele Los Angeles Times 10/15/2015
The whole enterprise smacks of a pilot for something that might be called "Celebrity Wrestler Rehab." Go to Full Review Robert Kojder Flickering Myth 12/03/2017
5/5
It's also purely a heartbreaking look at what alcoholism can do to a person mentally; constantly telling themselves they were not a good enough human being to deserve the love of friends and family around them Go to Full Review Julian Shaw FILMINK (Australia) 04/22/2016
Jake The Man makes for pure documentary gold, with his salty turns of phrase, busted heart, and that tiny sliver of hope which he clings to like a boa constrictor even in his darkest hours. Go to Full Review Diva Velez TheDivaReview.com 10/13/2015
3.5/5
Doesn't reinvent the wheel, but makes accessible and inspiring the real story of a man in progress, working toward rehabilitation. The heartfelt effort and brotherhood of the film's charismatic wrestling superstar subjects are its true brilliance. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

07/03/2020 unbelievably powerful. See more Lauren H @RT79447001 05/06/2020 So authentic and touching. I cried. See more 05/23/2019 great comeback story See more 10/21/2018 Excellent documentary. See more 02/17/2017 A worthy movie but it didn't need to be so long. There were too many repeated scenes of dudes crying it out and shilling ddp yoga. Nice to see that Hall and Roberts turned their lives around though. See more 02/05/2017 The story follows Jake "The Snake" Roberts on his road to recovery after living a life too centred on drink and drug. Diamond Dallas Paige helps him on his road to recovery as Jake gets reacquainted with some of his children who had long before given up on him. DDP also helps Scott Hall (Razor Ramon) who is in even worse shape. The documentary is somewhat amateurish and slow, centred on a frustratingly childish character. Watch Beyond the Mat first.
