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.

The Ringer Ratings & Reviews

    Unfortunately Johnny Knoxville doesn't have the comedic chops to make this work. Probably someone like Adam Sandler could have made this a decent movie.
