Really not offensive

Rating: 9/10 (28 December 2005)

This movie is really not offensive. In the movie, Johnny Knoxville's character (Jeffy) becomes great friends with the special Olympians. He bonds with them and even stands up for them. His uncle uses the word "tard" when referring to the group and Jeffy stands up and tells him not to ever say that word again, that some of the Olympians are good enough to be in the actual Olympics, that they're his friends. In the movie, he is the one falling down and making a fool of himself. They never poke fun at the athletes. During the movie Johnny Knoxville's character realizes what he's doing is incredibly wrong and even goes to see a priest to absolve his guilt. At the end he admits his wrong doing, and uses his leftover money to build a theater starring his new friends in Shakespearian productions. I felt that this was a great feel-good movie. I laughed the whole time, not at the people, but with them.
