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.

"It's extremely dated in some aspects and is very formulaic, but it has a big enough heart and some hilarious jokes to back it up that save this film from being a mixed bag."

"A man sneaks into the special Olympics for the wrong reason but gets to know the kids who are meant to be there and they change his hart, good family movie thats pretty funny 8.8/10"

"Love this one. Highly suggest watching the special features. Producers and writers interviewed actual special needs students about their opinions on the plot of this movie. Most said (paraphrased) that their bullies watch jackass, so watching Johnny Knoxville defend spec needs kids would be a positive step in the right direction. "
Andy Brough
"Surprisingly good, based on the trailer and premise, you think your going to hell for watching it. The movie is so funny and heart warming, and the athletes/actors really steal the movie from Johnny Knoxville."
Jeff Teuton
"Super cute movie with a feel good ending"
Brandi Sumner
"This is one of my all time favorite movies! The main character, Jeffy, does a contemptible thing, but his awesome roommates and friends competing with him in the Special Olympics more than teach him about the good he can do and how to make it all right. LOL hilarious!"
