The Ringer finds Johnny Knoxville taking a break from hanging with the crew on Jackass to buddy up with the kids in the Special Olympics. (If you can figure out a difference, e-mail us.) For a Farrelly brothers movie, this flick is pretty tame, a point hammered home by 16 deleted scenes that focus on Knoxville's costars and a weepy featurette that overlooks laughs to highlight the positive message behind the film. A crowded commentary track and genuine history on the Special Olympics wraps up the supplementally challenged extras.
