Johnny Knoxville (Jackass, A Dirty Shame) stars as a man who pretends to be mentally challenged so he can fix the Special Olympics. This morally dubious premise (the movie goes to great lengths to be sure you understand how appalling it is) is not as inflammatory as it could be--The Ringer is careful not to mock its mentally challenged characters. This is sometimes a source of strength, as some of the funniest jokes come from the perspective of the athletes--for example, a group of the other athletes recognize that Steve (Knoxville) is not the high-functioning mentally disabled guy he pretends to be, but they go along with the masquerade and even help Steve because they can't stand the snotty reigning champion. But this respectfulness also makes the movie feel cautious and inhibited (one imagines there's a wealth of un-PC jokes that got cut out of the script so it could pass muster with the Special Olympics, who gave the movie its blessing). As a result, the movie's real plot turns out to be a love story, as Steve falls for one of the Special Olympics volunteers (Katherine Heigl, Romy and Michelle: In the Beginning) and has to find sneaky ways to undermine her slimy boyfriend. All in all, an uneven comedy with occasional flashes of wicked wit. Also featuring the always welcome Brian Cox (Adaptation, X-Men 2). --Bret Fetzer

>Have you ever tried to fix something? Well you probably have, but have you ever tried to fix something as big as the Special Olympics? That's what I thought. <

>This movie is about a normal average guy named Steve Barker. His job is doing great, while in the bathroom Steve spots the janitor. He is living off a very limited income, and to top it all off there was an accident. The janitor lost three of his fingers. And the worst part is that the doctors attach the janitor's fingers back to his hand but he cannot pay for the bill. The doctors give him a week to get the money or they will have to cut them back off. Now Steve thinks <

>That it was his fault. While at a bar one night Steve runs into his uncle. Steve told him the whole story and his uncle tells him that Steve should pay to make it up. But unfortunately Steve doesn't have 45,000 dollars. So Steve attempts to win the Special Olympics by pretending to be intellectually challenged, so he can win the prize and pay the bill. He and his uncle transform him into jeffy, a special person. However, he soon finds out that his fellow Olympians are not only better athletes but also better people to. With a workout all there own they train jeffy to win and to know what's at the heart of a true winner. <

>In my opinion this movie was one of the best I have ever seen. It kept me laughing the whole time. Johnny Knoxville plays the main character, which is why I loved this movie. I like any movie that stars Johnny Knoxville just because he is so funny. He can make the most boring story hilarious. <

>Overall, this is one of the best movies I have seen. It is a great comedy with a great cast. Quickly from the start I knew I was going to enjoy this movie. My recommendation for this movie is people ages 12 and up, because there are some scenes in the movie that may be Inappropriate. Such as bad language, adult content. I would say men would probably like this movie better, just because of the nature of the movie. <

>This movie is a great one. It teaches you a valuable lesson that it doesn't matter who you are your still a winner. Overall I give this movie 9 out of 10. If you like a good comedy movie go pick up The Ringer at the nearest movie store. <

This is one of Knoxville's best movies, it is so funny though the whole movie, recommend to everyone
Knoxville is really Funny!
I have to say alot of Johnny's stuff I don't like at all but this is a good show. My husband made me watch it on HBO. I didnt't want to, but when I sat down and looked at the TV ,It just made me laugh! We watched it about 4 times and then I got on the computer and bought it. Just a really good show!
