My simple opinion

Rating: Null/10 (26 November 2012)

My opinion after watching The Ringer Upon viewing the trailers and reading the synopsis I thought that this film would deliver.
I did find this film entertaining to some extent. I like Johnny Knoxville and his ability to deliver. Some key scenes had me chuckling at parts but the overall theme of an able bodied person participating in the special olympics brought me back to reality. The fact that Spain included able bodied athletes to compete in the 2000 special Olympics kind of threw me off. Sorry Johnny, but that sh*t just ain't funny. I understand that this film if purely for entertainment but you can't produce a comedy primarily around the mentally and physically disabled. Johnny's acting was poor through the most part. You can't tilt your head and pause during words and expect to come off as legit.
Shame on Katherine Heigle to co-star in this movie and Knocked Up, only to voice her displeasure regarding Knocked Up and the sexist overtones.
