Plot
Reception
The movie was met with mixed reviews. Some critics thought that it was too predictable. However, noted critic Roger Ebert gave it a positive review.
There is currently a lot of controversy that the movie's plot was stolen from animated series "South Park" in an episode where "Cartman" pretended to be mentally handicapped to win a prize in the Special Olympics.
Box office
When it opened it earned $7,702,439 and its box office total was $35,019,634. It also earned $40,800,000 in DVD sales.
