Surprisingly Good

Rating: 8/10 (3 April 2006)

Went to see it worried it might be too close to the bone when it came to humour about disabled people, but quickly realised it was more about humour WITH disabled people.
Having just discovered it was made in co-operation with the Special Olympics organisation, it confirms what i thought coming out the movie - that it was meant to show how disabled people are competitive, intelligent, and as capable of sarcasm as the rest of us! It got it's message through to me, I just hope people give it a chance and don't dismiss it as a cheap shot without seeing it. Check out the official "making of.." article here http://theringer.specialolympics.org/Q3_04_34-39.pdf to see for yourself.
