Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

UnowPriceless hyped garbage

Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?

Matho The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

callanvass (Plot) A con filled with regrets is on the run to hide from his troubled past as a criminal. He decides to shield himself by sneaking into his field trip to be The Chaperone.This wasn't exactly good, but it managed to be a hell of a lot better than I expected. It's fairly genuine in its approach, and Triple H (Paul Levesque) is actually non pretentious and likable, something I can hardly say about him in the WWE. The plot is nothing special and is something we've all seen quite a few times before done in different way. This is the type of family affair that most families will most likely groove to. It has just enough action to do an adequate job for adults, and its innocuous storyline will be just perfect for kids. I can't believe I'm saying this, but it's really not that bad of a film. It's well made for the most part, and the cast is rather solid as well. Triple H proves he can be likable after all. He gets lots of digs taken at him for this, but he wasn't too bad at all. Ariel Winter is as cute as a button and she and Triple H play off one another well as Father & Daughter. Winter got on my nerves a couple times with her snotty attitude, but considering the circumstances, it was understandable. Final Thoughts: It's not something I'm going to watch again. I don't care for Triple H at all, but I give credit where credit is due when it is deserved. It pains me to say this, but it's really not as horrible as you've been lead to believe. 5/10

tequila101 I watched this film today and I have to say, it really isn't as bad as people or even the critics say it is. I believe Paul Levisque did an excellent job at playing a redeemed ex-con man who only wanted to spend time with daughter. I thought many of the others actors did great and the film was a total blast as it had some great moments of non-stop laughter. It really was a good film, but it's not as if I had not seen this kind of material before-hand.I believe the many of the moments although very funny and excellent to watch, are quite cliché'd. I've seen this stuff before and even the plot is also nothing new. A man who comes out of prison, 7 years later, wanting to spend time with his daughter who he missed while being locked up. And then there is always a big issue once he is out (which this time is his so called friends, who wants him to come back into the life of crime. And this finally gets in the way of his daughter and his chance to re-connect with her again. It was great but like I said, its stuff I've seen before.The plot and moments throughout are nothing new but I'm not saying I disliked the film, I'm saying that the film on the whole is awesome, but it feels like to many other kids or adults films I've watched in the past.Aspects I loved the most in the film was when Paul's character Ray takes totally control of the classroom and makes some uncanny but very hilarious remarks saying dialogue which included "making them go through hard days of labor". I also like how the director continued to build a strong relationship which had been broken at the start of the film, with Ray and his daughter Sally. I really connected with how both were feeling throughout the film, understanding what they both wanted.Much of the dialogue from the characters was quite serious, funny and true. I liked the combination.The only real problem I had with the film was action scenes. We see a lot of violence in other WWE films, but in this there was hardly any. I wish I could have seen more. I'm not a WWE fan, but since I've seen a tone of violence and action in the many films that they have produced, I was expecting a little bit more hyped up action. Since it was a kids film, I might as well leave this aspect alone, but I wish there was more of that.Overall, this is another film I think shouldn't have so much hate on it's shoulders. Its a good feel good film with funny moments, great actors and nice music. Even though the plot is clichéd', I'll give them props for their casting and great moments of comedy, as they did quickly had me attached to continuing watching this film. It's Better than Expected - 7.5/10

wackoae 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.

spanky1901 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.
