It's good. A fun movie and actually carries a message and shines light on these awesome humans. Best comedy? No. Worth it? Yes.

Great movie that is full of laughs and dodges making fun of special people but actually it shines a light on them and great story

What I love about this movie is that the special needs people are in on the jokes, often making them, and aren't the ones being made fun of.

A touchy subject to put to film. I thought they did great!! 150 people with disabilities had roles, and the Special Olympics even liked it

Tables turn on Knoxville & he becomes the athletes’ punchline. This gave an opportunity for actors normally passed on. Not good though.
