Cast: Johnny Knoxville, Katherine Heigl, Brian Cox
Director:Barry W. Blaustein
This movie was HORRIBLE, I almost turned it off but always feel obligated to watch a movie all the way through.
Steve Barker played by Johnny Knoxville and His Uncle Gary (Brian Cox) go about rigging the Special Olympics to pay off debts. I knew the plot going in before the movie and thought it had a chance to be funny, wrong but funny. The writing was dull with very few funny lines. And the premise is an old one guy falls for the girl but has some secret which she eventually finds out and at the end he still gets the girl. Come on would anyone date a guy if they found out he was pretending to be mentally challenged? Knoxvilles acting was dull and he always seems to be falling down like its another episode of jackass.
I am not sure what Katherine Heigl was thinking, stick with Greys Anatomy or read the script next time before accepting.
Pass on this movie, even if all there is is a Lifetime movie on television.
Grade: D
