Movie Review - The Ringer

Wasn't sure what to expect going into this one -- was it going to take horrible, unnecessary shots at the mentally challenged? Was it going to explain what special olympic athletes go through? The answer was, a little bit of both.

While they never handled the material REALLY sensitively, it wasn't as bad as, say, when South Park made basically the same story years earlier. There was a bit of a message here, so at least give them points for that.

As much as I LOVED Jackass: The Movie when I saw it recently, Johnny Knoxville is not leading man material. That said, he could have certainly been a lot worse. But the single biggest problem with this film is that there just WAY TOO MANY plot holes throughout.

There were a few funny moments here, but overall, nothing I would overly recommend anyone to go out and see. Maybe a video rental a best...
