The Jesse Ventura Story Movie Review 1999

Cheap quickie TV movie capitalizes on Ventura's unlikely career path. Smalltown boy Ventura becomes a Navy SEAL, a professional wrestler known as "The Body" (among other jobs), and eventually winds up in an upset victory as the governor of Minnesota. A dull, unauthorized whitewash that would probably bore even Ventura himself.
