The movie was a lot better than I anticipated, consider the caliber of the movie's "star", Johnny Knoxville. A good basic escapist fun film complete with silly plot and over-the-top characters. Peering into the Special Olympics in any way other than a documentary presents quite a challenge, but as loony as the movie was, it did a tremendous job of humanizing those with assorted disabilities. It was highly entertaining to watch the actors who either were "challenged" or were simply portraying it. I felt that some of the portrayers were poor choices and they would have been better off finding another actor, particularly from the former group. Enjoyed watching it as a family with my young teens. The movie was scoring high until they felt it necessary, as have so many other PG-13 movies of late, to include a blatant F-bomb. Thanks SO very much. Yeah, it was a hilarious line. A shame there were no writers skilled enough to make it hilarious AND clean. Families favorite line from the movie, hands down: "I have a dog named Candy, and sometimes, she doesn't bite, but also sometimes, she does. Chomp!"Read full review
nothing like jonny knoxvilles "jackass" movie, this is actualy politicly correct!! a movie about a guy who was too nice to fire a janitor who loved his job and so he hired the guy to mow his lawn but the guy wasnt too smart when he put his hand in the lawn mower blades and lost 3fingers. again the main character is too nice to leave the guy with no fingers and the hospital wont repair it without 28K up front so he riggs the special olympics with the assistance/encouragment of his crooked uncle. watch the movie if you liked stupid humor, i think it also draws a little light on how "special" people are still people too and can make good friends too and arnt so bad. they are people who have "less" but are still happy and dont care, rhey can surprise you with their capabilities.
I absolutely love this movie, I’m so glad I can own it. The case was a little dirty and the disc is scratched but it actually worked just fine.

Jeffie (Stevie) tried to fix the special olympics, when he realizes that the people there aren't just slow retards, they are skilled and they do know what they're doing. This movie was one of the funniest I've ever seen, I watched it and couldn't stop laughing everything was funny, and it made a point that you shouldn't make fun of or underestimate people that are a bit slow in the mind, it's not their fault and they can still do some of the stuff that an average human can do. I thought that the great acting and the perfectness of all of the characters makes this one of my favorite movies. I would suggest buying this movie.
love this movie, so glad I found it online
