Simply A Masterpiece

Nice effects though.

A Masterpiece!

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

::Contains a very minor spoiler towards the end:: Was hoping for a fairly entertaining experience, but when I saw the WWE logo I knew it was going to be a tough movie to watch/keep interested in. The lead role, obviously a wrestler though I've never heard of him (I don't watch wrestling). His acting and script is as interesting and deep as what any wrestler does on stage. With a better written movie he might be OK, but this movie is seriously lacking in a realistic script and is full of clichés. Some of the actors/actresses do a fairly decent job and manage to make it bearable though there were several spots that made me just shake my head in disbelief. Take for example, the bank scene, the dialogue and events were so unbelievable I was tempted to turn the movie off. In the end, watch it if you have nothing else to do.

The movie is watchable if you are bored. But it is still a stinker.Acting by Triple-H was unexpectedly bad. Sorry but for a person who made a living following a script he can't act if his life depended on it. That was really horrendous acting.The young girl was pretty decent, but a poor script limited her acting. But over all, she did a good job in her role compared to (most of) the other characters. Unfortunately I can't say the same about the rest of the "junior" class .... lets say they need a better acting coach. Then again it could be just the poor quality of the script. Some of the lines were just plain stupid and made absolutely no sense.Anyway, the movie is a stinker, but watchable. Just don't expect any quality acting on the part of the main star.

At first i thought " oh great another wrestler falls into the kiddie film trap"..(thank god the rock is working his way out of this) but as it turns out i actually enjoyed the film...by no stretch of the imagination is it a great achievement in cinema but i have only 2 criteria that make a movie good for me... 1. did it keep my attention? 2. Did it entertain me? This movie did keep my attention and did entertain me...so therefore by my logic a decent film... implausible plot...of course impossible action...duh but i cant stand when people criticize films because the plot just "couldnt happen" in real life...but that is why it's a movie!!! it is made to entertain at least one demographic...in the case of the Chaperone...it entertained more.

Well, I am 38, almost the same age of Triple H. I have seen guys like the Taker, Shawn Michaels, making their debut in WWE back in 1990-91 when I was 17. WWF and now WWE never went out of me. I remember Triple H as a well bred Englishman (Hearst Hemsley) having his first 'encounters' with Henry Goodwin. From Steve Austin becoming Stone Cold from The Ringmaster (as Ted DiBiase's henchman) to Triple H being taken out by Shemus, I was always there. Being a big Triple H fan, I was eagerly (well not exactly) looking forward to the movie. But the movie being a limited release, I had to wait till the DVD came out.I am surprised that no one has reviewed the movie. Well, there is not much to review. Basically Triple H is an ex-con trying to get things straight with his family. Nothing new, of course. The usual syndromes and hiccups and all ends well.If you are looking for anything else beside Triple H, you would be disappointed. Triple H, on the other hand is just being himself, which means he does comedy very very well as WWE fans would know. there is no action in the movie. I was really hoping Triple H would 'kick some butts' but it seems as he was revitalizing himself from injuries (in his real life) to get it along with Taker for WM 27, he thought why not tell dad-in-law to make a movie? He is of course funny. in a way, it didn't seem like acting at all. As I said, he just played the Triple H from DeGeneration X, just that without any crude humour. Children below 10 may like it while i suspect anyone above 10 would not enjoy it if s/he is not into WWE. I was expecting a few WWE Superstars to make a cameo (like they did in The A Team), but... Overall, even if you are a Triple H fan, you would not miss anything if you don't watch the movie.Rest of the cast just sleep walked through their roles. I don't know why Triple H choose to debut as a main actor in a kid's movie, I mean unlike Cens, he has lots of adult fans who would love to see him in action in his brooding 'King of Kings' persona. but like I said, he probably just wanted to pass some time, nothing serious. There is another movie of his coming out (Inside Out), looks like an action movie although the given genre is Crime / drama Okay, okay, enough of my review, avoid the movie. Why I gave a 6 then, well I went to see triple H and he was in the movie, thats why. BTW, WWE Studios had better releases than 'The Chaperone'
