When Steve Barker (
Johnny Knoxville) finds himself running dead last in the corporate rat race, he sinks to an all time low... he attempts to rig the Special Olympics by pretending to be intellectually challenged. But, Barker is completely out-classed by his fellow Olympians, who are not only better athletes; they're just plain better people. And they're on to him. But rather than rat-out the rat, they join forces with him to once and for all beat Jimmy, the cocky reigning champion of the annual games. With a work-out regime uniquely their own, they train Barker to go for the gold and, in the process, show him what's at the heart of a true winner.
This movie was really good. I think the Johnny Knoxville is perfect for the role as Steve/Jeffy. Some people actually have the nerve to say," I hated it I walked out after 20 minutes." Well, if you just watch the damn movie then I guarantee you will love it. Knoxville is actually friends with two of special Olympians. Eddie Barbanell(Billy) and John Taylor(Rudy). That speaks to Johnny`s character I deeply respect and admire that. Best Movie of 2005 in my book!
I think the people who say the Ringer is dumb are completely wrong. This movie was to show people that mentally-challenged people can compete too. They`re weren`t any cruel jokes at their expense. If you thought the movie was bad and didn`t see the whole thing, maybe you shouldn`t judge it so quickly and just take the time to actually sit down and watch the damn thing. It was a funny, heartwarming, movie that I will never forget. Best movie of 2005! I loved every minute of it. I just love Johnny Knoxville`s respect for his friends. I also love how he kind of got angry when his uncle called his friends retards. I thought that that really sho
i thought this was a funny movie even though it was making fun of disabled people!!
