The Ringer (2005)
Pressured by a greedy uncle (Brian Cox) and a pile of debt, lovable loser Steve Barker (Knoxville) 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.

RRRRRRRingerrrrrrr
i found this movie very funny, but i must admit half way through the movie i had to pause it and ask "was it okay to laugh at this movie" ?. johnny knoxville is great in my book and to see the delightful Katherine Heigl, (and why she is not mentioned above i will never know), she is worth watching she can be seen in roswell series 1 - 3 and grey's anatomy series 1 & 2.....do more Katherine, right back to the movie i give this a sk 5 out of 5.
