The Ringer

We were discussing some thoughts on people with disabilities in The Water Cooler earlier today, which reminded me of the new movie starring Johnny Knoxville. If you've been living under a rock, the plot of the movie is about a guy (Johnny Knoxville) who owes several thousands of dollars. With the help of his Uncle they come up with a plan to enter the special olympics and win some prize money, with a plan of Johnny acting handicapped.

A lot of people have argued that it's cruel and immoral as it makes fun of people with some kind of disabilities. Others claim it's a movie that is doing great for those with special needs as it brings a great amount of attention towards the special olympics organizations.

I haven't seen the movie myself so I can't comment on it yet, but what is your opinion on it?

Being that it was made with the special olympics working hand in hand with the film makers I think it will turn out alright. (I haven't seen it yet either)

It's getting great reviews so far.

I have yet to see it but I might check it out. It looks like it might be good but who knows.

The people with the Special Olympics worked with the filmakers on this? Maybe someone should tell this to those organizations boycotting/complaining about this movie for "making fun of handicapped people". I'm not really interested in it, but I have no problem with the content of it.
