from a special o coach

Rating: 8/10 (2 January 2006)

i'm a special olympics coach, and i have to say the film is HILARIOUS!!! i took one of my kiddos to see it, and she loved it. there was a bunch of really inappropriate stuff, but luckily there was no one in the theater so i could talk to her and ask her if she understood, and most of the "adult" humor went over her head. i'd probably preview it before i let an athlete see it, though. i definitely know a bunch of kids who can handle it, and a bunch that can't. it's gonna be case by case. there were some rough parts as far as me wanting to throw my candy at the screen, but they showed a lot of what i was hoping they'd show about my kiddos. hopefully this will open a lot of people's eyes to these types of kids and how bright and fun and wonderful they really are. by the way, props to mr. knoxville for directing media to ask questions to his co-stars. i know how you feel, you have no clue how many waitresses i have to tell that my kids can order for themselves!!!
