Genres & Description

Action Comedy Sport

5.8 / 10

This comedy is about two guys who decide to rig the Special Olympics to pay off a debt by having one of them, Steve (Knoxville), pose as a contestant in the games, hoping to dethrone reigning champion, Jimmy. Mentally-challenged high jinks and hilarity surely follow.

its a decent movie that sheds light on the abilities of people that tend to be ostracized by meanies. i dont think Johnny Knoxville was acting because of his Jackass career...actually the movie was really good IMHO im sorry that people used u for their amusement. i think i have head trauma from emulating Johnny Knoxville for when i had filmed our version of Jackass...my friend and i called it Dumbass....... ... ... - @Monday, September 17, 2018 7:13 AM

Unbelievable. I can’t believe that this athlete faked his way into the Special Olympics events. He even doesn’t have a disability. If I saw something like that at Special Olympics, I be very disappointed. Me, I’m a Special Olympics athlete and I’m mentally challenged. - @Wednesday, June 6, 2018 1:39 PM

I have never watched this movie, but what I have watched is South Park and they did an episode exactly like this. - @Tuesday, July 5, 2016 1:36 PM

This movie is by far not making fun of mental retardation, it's quite the opposite and very well done, very hilarious!! - @Thursday, April 14, 2016 10:58 PM
