3/5

All that's really needed to understand Arquette's motivations are the words of his brother, Richmond: "David wants love"... For all its bravado and mystique, what's most striking about You Cannot Kill David Arquette are these simple truths.

David Arquette is a disarming character: a relentless enthusiast who leads a pampered lifestyle but endures extreme humiliation in pursuit of his wrestling dream.

7/10
