The Ringer Review

Messages: Rigging the Special Olympics; mobsters and loan sharking; arrogant Special athlete with limo and attendants; majority of Special athletes are smart, sensitive, loving.

Role models: With a plot hinged on rigging the Special Olympics it is hard to say with a straight face that there are any truly positive roles models here. Jimmy, the real-life Special Olympics champ, is the best this film has to offer. He is a good, solid, honest competitor. It's a shame the film spends most of its time making fun of people like him.

Violence: Slapsticky physical comedy; loss of fingers in a lawnmower accident; Steve falls, is hit in the face with a ball, chased by a barking dog, slapped in the face.

Sex: Adolescent joking with references to cheerleaders, masturbation, a homosexual act; brief makeout scene in a movie theater, where jokes are made about Dirty Dancing.

Language: Mild cursing (s-word, "," " of ass," "," "-faker"), as well as derogatory terms for the intellectually challenged ("," "'tards").

Consumerism: Shopping trip to CostCo.

Drinking, drugs and smoking: Brief reference to pot; characters drink in a bar; beer bottle and brief beer drinking at restaurant lunch; uncle smokes.
