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
oprlvr33 Though I'm no wrestling fan, I am very familiar with the media presence of "Triple H" (Paul Levesque). Who says (former) wrestlers can't make the big screen? The Rock, Mr. T (before he switched to pro boxing), The Hulkster, Andre the Giant, etc.Levesque is actually well-fitted in this role, and very convincing; for his first actual big screen debut. He certainly can act; no doubt about that. The on-screen chemistry he shares with costar, veteran actress Annabeth Gish, is the most surprising. They play brilliantly off each other. Gish is even more gorgeous today, especially in this film, than during her 80's 'Mystic Pizza' days where she portrayed mostly straight-laced, virginal school girl roles. And with more than 30 films to her credit, including a few television appearances, she certainly has earned icon status.This film does NOT disappoint. I originally streamed it off Netflix, curious - seeing that "Triple H" was in the title. Again, very impressive. A must-see indeed.
Rason Just finished watching this one. I must say, it's much more enjoyable then I first thought. But then again, I wasn't expecting it to be completely bad either. It's a nice movie to put away a small 2 hours time. Acting is stable, not impressive but it isn't bad either. I did however find myself to be continuously annoyed by Ariel Winter and her character. She has this "Something smells awful"-kinda look on her face and in the tone of her voice the entire movie. But then again, I'm not fond of small girls in big roles overall, so I guess it's more of a personal thing. I like the whole "modern spoiled children" thing that's going on. It gives a modern, almost recognizable vibe. And dare I say Paul Levesque is really capable of some acting? I believe this is his first main character role in a movie, and he did what he had to. Be an impressive, intimidating man (being a pro-wrestler comes in handy here) at first, and on the other side a caring father a second later. His acting is, in my opinion, better then what I've seen from fellow WWE-ers Stone Cold, Kane (got to give him credit for being a scary S.O.A.* without any monster suit and special effects though), John Cena and Dwayne Johnson (although I haven't watched Fast Five yet). And there in lies the negative part of this movie. I think it deserves a better score then the 4.5 it's getting right now. But this is a WWE Studios production. Not necessarily a bad thing from my point of view, but it's almost as if people click in there score for this movie the moment that WWE logo pops up. "WWE Movie, can't be that good" and thats it. And because of that, other people hesitate to watch. Lately however, I'm noticing a rise in quality in their movies, be it a small one. I think if they keep up the pace (small steps at the time) we one day might witness something really nice coming from their corner (Sorry, just couldn't let that one pass). Last thing I want to mention is the "Tweener" part i revere at in the summary. "The Chaperone" has the same little snag that the "Narnia" movies have. It's a bit to adult for children, but it's to childish for adults. For example, we get full contact fighting and guns and stuff, but no blood is spilled. And that applies to the storyline as well. They combined two very basic plots together, and it came out somewhat unstable, not fully delivering either plot at it's best. To sum it up; Enjoyable, a bit to long stretched movie that puts your brain in relaxation mode. Take in the last fact I mentioned, and you should do just fine sitting this one out.
kody elrafihi this movie is probably my favorite movie of World Wrestling Entertainment studios. great actors, especially Ariel Winter for a 13 years old girl. Paul wasn't so bad himself, i enjoyed the plot. enjoyed the story. i think it deserves better rating than its getting because its really a great movie.8/10 cast were great, story was great. very funny too. so my thoughts is that you should watch it because a movie like this deserves views, and probably Paul will get bigger as he grows ..and now I'm typing this so i can finish of the 10 lines because i cant post this unless there are ten lines... bye
