Yeah here's the truth the movie is awful
"The only good things about this one is the ending and Special Olympics broadcast stock footage but that's it. It's has mean spirited and violent tone, unlikable characters, the story was awful, lazy cinematography, and the writing is just backwards I'm going to stick to The Hunchback of Notre Dame so I can move on with this awful movie...."
