The only way to erase your debt is by rigging the Special Olympics and becoming a contestant.
I think Knoxville has taken one too many blows to the head on Jackass.

Don't let the description get to you.
You're not going to hell for laughing at it.
It's really quite nice.

The cast led by the star of "Jackass" (Johnny Knoxville). It is produced by the Farrelly brothers. The story is about a man who decides to rig the Special Olympics. Despite all these knocks against it (and they are most certainly knocks), the film manages to be not only very funny, but also not offensive.
The story itself is rather straightforward, the main actors are decent enough that they don't take away from the film. But the real stars are the secondary characters. All of the special needs actors in this film are mentally handicapped in real life, and they deliver their lines with such honesty and frankness that it's a shame there's not more roles out there for them.…

This movie was so funny! You need to have a sense of humor though or be careful who you show it too cause some people might take it offensively if they have a loved one that has mental retardation or some other problem. but overall it was a good movie :) Also, i enjoyed seeing Johnny Knoxville! He fit that part perfectly.

Funnier than I thought it should be and funnier than it really ought to be.

Okay it got a half smile from me at some point I know, so it gets a whole star instead of just the half I want to give. It is by no means "Laugh-out-loud hilarious" but I'm sure someone thinks so.
