The Ringer

Filed under R - DVD Movie Club

This comedy starring Johnny Knoxville of ‘Jackass’ fame is about a guy named Steve who decides to pretend he’s retarded and enter the Special Olympics. He needs money bad because one of his friends cuts his fingers off accidentally and Steve promises to pay for the operation to put them back on. I thought this movie would be more about making fun of retards, but it ended up being more about how retards say a bunch of funny stuff because they’re not that smart and they don’t know whats going on. It turned out to be more cute-funny than mean-funny, but it was still okay and I enjoyed it. Even though the acting was bad. But the retarded kids were much better actors than most of the cast including Johnny Knoxville, so it was alright in the end. I gave it a three out of five flames mainly because a retarded kid launches a water balloon at Johnny Knoxville’s crotch and that was almost exactly like Jackass where he gets squirted with a firehose in the crotch – not too original, but still pretty funny!
