Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Phillida Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Paul Magne Haakonsen Well this movie was somewhat of a surprise. Who knew that WWE could come up with something straight out of the Disney family movie production drawer?The story is pretty simple and straight forward. Ray Bradstone (played by Paul Levesque) comes out from prison after 7 years of incarceration, and wants to reacquaint himself with his estranged daughter Sally (played by Ariel Winter). But friends from his old criminal past manage to convince Ray to do one more job. Then things get mixed up and turn complicated.The cast in the movie did a good job with their roles, and I must admit that despite his wrestling career, then Paul Levesque actually did a good job with that role. And of course this movie, being a family movie, have lots of stereotypical characters in it."The Chaperone" is good entertainment for kids and adults alike.

Carla Jones It was fun to watch and really appreciated the fact that the language and content never made me cringe or feel the need to put my defenses! I was surprised that is was a WWE movie, I will look for more of these. Thanks so much for a great evening of entertainment! Oh my, my review isn't long enough. LOL We recognized several of the actors and came to IMDb to see what we had seen them in before. The young lady playing Sally was excellent, and look forward to seeing her in other shows. I have already recommended this movie to friends and will recommend it to more folks! The story was somewhat predictable, but that didn't distract from enjoying seeing the characters play their roles. There were plenty of small details that were mentioned or shown briefly that popped up later in the movie as part of the story. I like it when details fit together and dislike it when parts of a story line are left unexplained and make a story seen disjointed. We both noticed and commented on this aspect of the movie while we were watching it.

rob_on_guitar OK, before seeing any WWE movie, I don't really expect great acting, that is the way I just auto-think when I hear they made another movie. That being said, I tried to watch this with an open mind, didn't expect much at all but was interested to see if Triple H could fair better than his fellow wrestlers. Unfortunately although I found HHH a step above Cena, it wasn't enough to say the movie was good, but wasn't the worse. The support cast were OK doing the typical movie role of a family divided by a fathers (HHH) past, the same formula seen in many 80's and 90's family flicks, the first half hour was very painful to watch, bad beard and lines, but I have to admit it did pick up further along the movie. I gave the rating a 2 out of 10 simply because the movie seems like a popcorn fodder affair, it's a movie not made to make us think, maybe a laugh here and there with a bit of action, bit of a throw back to the 80s. I reckon these big wrestler types would suit better to horrors and thrillers if they are to keep sticking to 80s style movies.

Hellmant 'THE CHAPERONE': Two Stars (Out of Five) WWE superstar Triple H (also known as Paul Levesque) stars in this family action comedy which could be described as 'DIE HARD' on a kid's school bus! Levesque plays an ex-con, straight out of prison, trying to make amends with his daughter on a school field trip while his old crew chases them for loot money that's on their bus. The film is produced by WWE studios in another attempt to make a popular kids film and turn another one of their wrestling stars into a household film name. Triple H actually isn't a bad screen presence but as you can probably guess the film is horrible. It's directed by Stephen Herek (who's directed such popular youth films as 'BILL & TED'S EXCELLENT ADVENTURE', 'DON'T TELL MOM THE BABYSITTER'S DEAD', 'CRITTERS' and 'THE MIGHTY DUCKS') and written by first time writer S.J. Roth.As soon as Ray Bradstone (Triple H) is released from prison his old partner Phillip Laure (Kevin Corrigan), who ditched him at the scene of the crime on the job Ray went to prison for, tries to get him in on a new bank heist. Ray wants nothing to do with Laure or his old life of crime and instead wants to bond with his young daughter Sally (Ariel Winter), who he hasn't seen most of her life. Sally wants nothing to do with Ray though and neither does her mother, Ray's ex-wife Lynne (Annabeth Gish). When Ray reluctantly decides to go along with Laure and their team on their latest crime scheme he instead decides to ditch them at the scene of the crime and throws the keys of the vehicle he's supposed to be the getaway driver for. He walks to the school bus directly in front of the bank his team is robbing and takes a position as a school chaperone on the bus instead. While his old crew is scrambling to getaway they accidentally ditch the bag of loot money on the school bus as well. So Laure and one of his goons begin chasing the school bus down in an attempt to get their money back.The movie's set up is ridiculous and so is every other preposterous scenario in the film. Herek's directing is adequate but the script he has to work with is just bad. Like I said Triple H is a nice screen presence though and his acting isn't bad either, he's actually kind of natural. It would be nice to see him attempt something a little more serious and fitting next time though. The rest of the cast is hit and miss. Corrigan is great, like always, as the movie's lead villain, Yeardly Smith is decent as a school teacher and Ariel Winter gives an impressive performance as the movie's young co-lead. Gish is horrible in the film though and so are most of the other child actors. To be fair though the scenes with Gish are all bad melodrama which is when the movie most suffers. You could say that Arnold Schwarzenegger set the mold for this type of movie (tough guy action star teamed with a kid, or kids) with 1990's 'KINDERGARTEN COP' but actually Sylvester Stallone did it before that with his underrated 'OVER THE TOP' in 1987. Both of those movies are far superior to everything that's followed though (that I can think of, right now at least). While this is better than some (like everything The Rock and Vin Diesel has attempted) it's still no 'KINDERGARTEN COP' (or 'OVER THE TOP' for that matter).Watch our review show 'MOVIE TALK' at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXu8bs0LI9A
