      Make people think, comforting

      Although it is defined as a comedy. But in a large part, it is describing the life state of an ordinary person. People nowadays, like steve, pursue a sense of success. However, I finally found myself unsuccessful, it was a complete failure. It is a great irony and shame for a normal person to participate in the Paralympics.

    Movie plot

    Steve Barker ( Johnny Knoxville ) is a good old man with a kind heart, leading a life unchanged, doing boring copywriting work conscientiously, until one accidentally reversed his life and original beliefs. One day, Steve finally plucked up the courage to ask his boss for a promotion. He didn't expect it to be approved, but there was one condition-he had to resign Stawell, the company's long-time janitor. In order to alleviate the...

    Background creation

    Evaluation action

    The film is produced by the Larley brothers (Bobby Ferrari, Peter Ferrari) who are good at playing tricks and funny things. Of course, the style and baggage must be marked with the "French" brand, and Johnny Knoxville is very exciting in the film   . "The Ringer" is extremely ironic and humorous   . In the film, the role played by Johnny Knoxville is to help others "play" a "idiot". He infiltrated the audience with a plain or even...
