What Parents Need to Know
About The Ringer
Parents need to know that this movie means to be offensive, with jokes about bowel movements, pee, vomit, toilets, the loss of fingers in a lawnmower, and indeed, the basic premise (rigging the Special Olympics). The movie also features repeated adolescent sex humor, including allusions to masturbation, homosexual activity, prostitution, and "cheerleaders."

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the propriety of joking about intellectually challenged characters: though the special athletes are arguably the most entertaining and well-rounded characters, how does the film use them as background for Steve's story? How does the movie use the romance with Lynn as a sign of Steve's maturation?

Cute and Funny, with a lesson
This movie is a simple comedy that delivers without being too corny or over the top. It portray's the mentally challenged as the good guys, and a lot smarter than people think. It was good see that Johnny Knoxville can actually act.

Okay You Have it Wrong...
Now this film does have some of the bad stuff in it... But just because Johnny Knoxville is in it doesn't mean that it can't have heart... This movie isn't meant to make fun of the mentally chalenged, it was meant so we can laugh with them, not at them...
