"The Ringer" (2005)

When Steve Barker finds himself running dead last in the corporate rat race, he sinks to an all time low...he attempts to rig the Special Olympics by pretending to be intellectually challenged. But, Barker is completely out-classed by his fellow Olympians, who are not only better athletes, they're just plain better people. And they're on to him.

"The Ringer" Movie Review

I've got to believe that if "The Ringer"” didn't have Johnny Knoxville and his built-in "Jackass" audience attached, this screwball comedy would have been relegated to made-for-TV/afterschool special status. It's no better than standard straight to video fare, and that’s what should have happened to it.
