shamefully awful

Rating: 1/10 (10 May 2006)

First of all, I do not want to take anything away from handicapped people; they have my full support. This piece of garbage movie doesn't. It's not even funny, as was the South Park episode the plot was ripped from. It is shallow, cliché, predictable and full of tiresome performances. I'm just amazed that so many reviewers here raved about it.
There are so many ways this topic could have been given the treatment it deserves, but the makers obviously took the "safe" way out: make a bowl of mush that would attract enough non-thinking, cliché-loving fans to make it a hit at the box office. After that, who cares? How bad is it? Well, I sat down and got through half of it before I was seething so much I had to turn it off. I wasn't going to bother with the rest, but in fairness I couldn't write this without having seen the whole thing, so I forced myself to sit through the rest. Wouldn't have made any difference.
All in all, I think this movie is an affront to "mentally challenged" people, and history and hindsight will serve to ultimately embarrass the people behind this turkey. It's sad to see that even those who should know better were taken in by it, e.g. the first reviewer.
I'm not going to spoil anything by giving away any plot details, but I will say to anybody who hasn't seen this piece of trash yet: don't waste your time and money.
