Disturbing and Embarrassing
26 August 2014
Warning: Spoilers
This movie was just plain disturbing to watch and it made me uncomfortable. It was funny until Knoxville went to the Special Olympics camp. It just didn't seem right that he should pretend to be special needs among actual special needs people. Then there were a few regular actors pretending to be special needs and going overboard with acting retarded, it down right made me uncomfortable.

How in the world did the director think anyone would find scenes with special needs being made fun of humorous? I guess the costume people thought the only way to make a regular person look like they are special needs to make them wear a pair of glasses that will magnify their eyes. This entire fiasco of a movie was cringe worthy and unwatchable. It was truly embarrassing for the cast, especially the leads.
