Knoxville himself, whom I've trashed on more than one occasion, is remarkably entertaining here in a role that is both physically and mentally demanding.

| Original Score: B | Sep 7, 2011

Hits all the right notes in comedy, light down to Earth drama, and a resulting tasteful comedy that's worth watching.

A good-natured comedy that isn't particularly interesting or, for that matter, very funny.

...a whole lot better than one might've expected.

my biggest complaint about the film is that it was too soft

It's a bold idea, taking mental handicap as a backdrop for a story about a man's growing up, but this film chickens out as soon as it begins. Nothing is real, nothing is at risk.

Knoxville no um grande ator, mas o filme suficientemente divertido (ainda que no engraado) e tem um bom corao.

Navel-scratching slobs won't enjoy this any more than navel-gazing snobs once they catch a whiff of its overwhelming timidity.

Hilarious comedy with a superb script and strong comic performances - this is undoubtedly the funniest comedy of the year.

Knoxville gives an amazingly risky performance--how many actors would have dared to do this?

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 23, 2006

With Knoxville in the lead, it's condescending, unoriginal, and boorish.
