Great feel good comedy

Rating: 6/10 (27 April 2006)

At first I didn't want to see The Ringer, since a review I had read gave it no stars. But when a friend and I wanted to go to the movies and there was nothing else on I thought I may as well check it out. It turned out to be a nice, funny, feel good movie that definitely doesn't deserve zero stars.
Some have said that it is unfair that Johnny Knoxville gets acting roles when he only became famous by hurting himself on Jackass, which is pretty true. He still does a good job as the main character Steve Barker. The rest of the cast were good as well especially the real handicapped people who were acting.
There are plenty of funny parts of course. Mainly making fun of the contestants in the Special Olympics although I wouldn't think it would offend anybody.
Overall The Ringer is a great feel good comedy that doesn't go out of it's way in making fun of handicapped people, but really shows that they are just the same as any other person.
