I saw The Ringer tonight after leaving a fairly ho-hum party Christmas Eve. Not being able to find anyone remotely interested in going to a 10:25pm movie,let alone this one, I went by myself. Well, to say the Farelly Brothers did it again is an understatement.
Knoxville does an excellent job playing the role of "a high functioning, developmentally disabled, young man". You can kind of predict how things may end up-particularly with the girl, but this movie is sweet in a sappy sort of way. It also gives us an excellent bird's eye view of the Special Olympics. Truly an amazing program for the kids who participate. This is one where you can really laugh out loud, even when you are the only one. Liked it lot!

The only thing that made me laugh during the whole movie was how bad it was. The acting, the script, EVERYTHING. My friend and I said that this was one of the worst movies we ever saw. I think the intentions of the writers were for the audience to laugh at the actors who had a range of disabilities. I don't think their was any comedy written into the movie other than a few slapstick moments.

it's just too disturbing to watch actors pretend to be "special", also too derivative of howard stern without the funny and minus the daring the stunts in this film are tame and just look like stunts,but the film knows what it is--an unusually dumb and pointless comedy--which makes it tolerable. it has been thoroughly de-fanged and there's no edge left in it, which makes it a quirky choice for small boys to watch with their goofy parents.
