The Ringer (2005)

[uhrgl]

Decent concept + touchy subject matter + Farrelly brothers (producers) + Knoxville = really bad movie.

I thought the trailer was pretty good -- Knoxville, in a confessional, confides that he is fixing the special olympics to win money -- but the movie is not funny.

King Pin is one of my favorite comedies so I have high expectations of the Farrelly's.

Shallow Hal and the Ringer both strike me as attempts to handle taboo subjects from a humane (and sometimes strictly PC) view; neither movie has been very good IMO. Would King Pin have been funny if the Farrelly's were sensitive towards Amish?

Am I the only one who notices that January is always the time of year when they release the absolute worst movies of the year? The fact that the confessional trailer has been on DVDs for way over a year just means that this movie sucks so much ass that they finished it, held onto it, and waited until the worst movie of the year season to put it out...

Some one has to replace Rob Schnider.
