Pressured by a greedy uncle and a pile of debt, lovable loser Steve Barker resorts to an unthinkable, contemptible, just-crazy-enough-to-work scheme. He pretends to be mentally challenged to rig the upcoming Special Olympics and bring home the gold. But when Steve's fellow competitors get wise to the con, they inspire him to rise to the greatest challenge of all: becoming a better person.

Best movie of this year hands down!
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
This movie rocks! It has everything, great story line and just goes to show life is precious. Movie is such heart felt may seem a bit wrong but it's really not! Love it. Go for gold!
Good movies are great, bad movies are often still very entertaining, but this movie is absolutely horrible. Acting of the main character: the worst. Storyline: really bad.But really, the acting skills of the main character made switch off the movie before it ended (a first!)I just couldn't take it anymore.
a la forest gump, and PC summer camps with "non-competitive" games where everyone wins, this movie accepts the idea that even them most disadvantaged (that's PC) are basically just like us; the hero, not really, bridges the gap as he is not stupid or awkward or particularly funny looking but acts that way; yes, it's akin to jerry lewis aping MS patients, but somehow OK; of course, the hero-con man has the hots for a blonde babe who oversees the special olympic program, unlike the others he acts like who don't know a babe from the phone book; why a 5? because it is an utterly low-life, bottom of the barrel movie that has poked a hole, albeit unwittingly, in today's astonishingly, I feel so much better, PC culture
I found Johnny Knoxville to be cool, but not that funny. And was hoping for some good laugh, but that is not what I got out of it. Everything about this so called comedy wasn't funny and was just predictable. All the funny parts are in the trailer and the trailer wasn't even funny. This film had some good idea, but it turned into more of a romance movie than a crude outrageous humor movie that I was expecting it to be. It also follows the cliché of the protagonist going with the flow and realize he made a mistake and tries to correct that mistake and show some morals near the end. And despite Johnny Knoxville being pretty good at acting retarded, this film had hardly to do with the special Olympic. The romance in it isn't even good and is a pretty bad date movie as well. So not a good comedy or a date movie, so just pass on this one. There is just way better comedies out there.3.8/10
