User Reviews: The Ringer (2005)
Good light-hearted story
Pros: Tugs at your heart strings
Cons: Pretty predictable
I really didn't expect Johnny Noxville to be placed in a serious role. The humor is funny and in just the right amount. Definitely an interesting story, but very predictable. A guy who isn't so nice tries to deceive the Special Olympics for money, then grows a heart in the end and gets the girl. Noxville is very versitile and didn't realize it until I watched this movie.

Pros: Great, endearing story
Cons: the feeling that soometimes you shouldn't be laughing so hard
To be honest I wanted to see this movie from the previews. There was a little part of me that thought that there could be a lot of good humor, but I had a aching feeling that I probably shouldnt. I finally gave in and rented it. The movie was as funny as I thought that it would be. Although I have never been impressed with Johnny Knoxville of Jack*ss and Dukes of Hazard fame, I found that he portrayed his character with that of a seasoned professional. He was both believable and endearing in his role. As for Katherine Heigl, what can I say. I never could find anything not to like about her. However, the real stars of the movie where the Special Olympic Competitors which originally caused that guilty feeling becaue I don't find jokes about the mentally challenged funny at all. They made the Steve character shine, and made the movie comfortable which made it more enjoyable. Not to mention that Knoxvilles co-stars delivered some of the best one-liners in the movie. The ending was warm, but cheesy. What can you do? Hollywood is always going to be that way.

I loved this movie. It shows people that have heart, shows the world a little more about special olympics. This is just an all around good movie, I think everyone will enjoy.
