a guy too nice for his own good rigs the special Olympic to help out a friend in need

Rating: 8/10 (30 December 2005)

before i saw this movie, i thought it would be a hilarious comedy. it lived up to this expectation but to my surprise, had a lot of heart. the main character tried to rig the special Olympics for a noble cause, to help out a buddy in need. the plot is very common in movies but the setting of the special Olympic adds unique characters and situations. i found myself constantly laughing out loud at the hilarious comments, situations, and characters in this fantastic feel- good comedy. also, the movie is short, compact, filled to the seams with jokes and never drags which is a big plus considering many movies these days are 20 or 30 minutes longer then they have to be.
