Did You Know Jesus Was Jewish?

Rating: 10/10 (7 January 2006)

Wow, seeing the commercials for this really made me think. Was this going to be a good movie? Then when I went back to school after break a friend of mine was asking everybody if they had seen it. I decided to go see it tonight and I was utterly amazed. Knoxville and company really amazed me. Seeing as it was a FOX Searchlight Film I knew that it was going to be low budget, but holy crap! This movie was excellent.
When Steve(Johnny) is sent to fire the janitor Stavi he offers him a job mowing the grass at his apartment complex due to the fact he said he had five kids, and that his wife was dead. While mowing out of Steve's apartment the mower blades get jammed and Stavi puts his hand in it to try to unjam it. Unfortunently his pointer, middle, and ring finger get cut off. Quickly Steve rushes him to the hospital. When finding out that the operation to get the fingers re-attached will cost 28,000 dollars he turns to his Uncle Gary who owes money to a bookie.
Soon after he says that Steve should fake as a mentally challenged person so that he can "fix" the Special Olympics. While first meeting the guys around where he stays he is shunned out and soon found out to be faking. He tells his new friends the whole story and they soon accept him again.
Finally in the end while racing against the six-time Special Olympics gold medalist Jimmy a surprise upset happens. In the end he comes clean and his slapped in the face by Lynn the woman he has a crush on.
After all this you'd expect the theater to be empty, but no it isn't. The seats are all filled and everyone's laughing at the jokes.
