Rating: 6/10 (21 December 2005)

In 'The Ringer' Johnny Knoxville plays Steve Barker, someone who needs a lot of money quick. His uncle Gary (Brian Cox) devises a plan whereby they can fix the Special Olympics to solve both of their financial dilemmas. Problem is, Steve is not comfortable with the idea and feels bad about what he is doing. Even worst, he finds out that the competition is not as easy to beat as he might have thought.
I had relatively high expectations for this movie. I really like Johnny Knoxville and when I first saw the trailer, I thought it was hilarious. However, I do not think Johnny Knoxville is all that funny, I think his co-stars did a better job.
All in all it was not bad; I just hoped it would be funnier. I think the whole family might enjoy this primarily because Johnny Knoxville is rather tame. But I do not think it is on the level of his previous work.
