Overview

Pressured by a greedy uncle and a pile of debt, lovable loser Steve Barker 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.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A goofy underdog comedy that starts with a despicable premise but gradually transforms into a warmhearted story about self-discovery and genuine connection. It's the kind of film that surprises you by becoming genuinely touching.
