Terrible...not funny....and boring.

Rating: 3/10 (21 December 2005)

Don't waste your time with this ridiculous farce of a movie. I'm a huge fan of "stupid" comedies without much purpose (Anchorman, Wedding Crashers, Kingpin, 40 Year Old Virgin, etc.), but this film is seriously one of the worst movies I've seen in ten years. Even worse, it's not funny. I think I counted 3 laughs for the entire movie.
Knoxville is a god when it comes to Jackass and I've enjoyed him in quite a few other small roles, but watching him play the lead as a "retard" is painful.
It's funny to read about all of the controversy between this movie and South Park, based on the allegation that Trey Parker and Matt Stone stole the idea for one of their episodes based on this movie. The writer of THE RINGER would have greatly benefited from watching the South Park episode before writing his script to learn how to make it funny. South Park was hysterical, THE RINGER was a waste of my time.
Enter at your own risk....
