Enjoyed it immensely

Rating: 10/10 (2 January 2006)

A movie about a guy doing the wrong thing for the right reasons.
I really had no thought about this movie until I read a review in the SF Chronicle. They gave it a good review and mentioned the involvement/support of the Special Olympics.
The movie was definitely different, but I applaud it. John Knoxville was likable and, although I expected more antics (and foul humor, which there was none) appeared clumsy like his character.
this is not a grab you by the face movie, the actors are not strung out on Hollywood puppet strings. It felt more natural, more at ease.
Nothing was overdone in this movie, and I am glad for it. Like another comment I read, I wanted Jimmy to be exposed as a fraud, and thought it very likely. And "Jeffy" would come out the exposer of fraud, and not get in trouble. I'm actually glad that did not happen. That's too Hollywood. The actual ending was much better. A community of people.
Don't go if you are only entertained by Hollywood glitz and glamour...and overdone special effects.
Do not NOT see it if you expect the movie to be offensive or to have foul humor.
There are good messages in the movie. It's very refreshing.
