The Chaperone (2011) Reviews
6/10 Decent movie tainted by a badly made trailer
Paul Levesque is an excellent actor.The character he plays in this movie shows depth and realism.I am a fan of his and to be honest I expected rigidity and an inability to cycle through a spectrum of emotion requisite of such a genre,but he pulled it off . Ariel winters was also surprisingly good,I was expecting some stereotypical goodie two shoes Disney actor but she is far from that and very confident in her role. Overall 6/10.I would also recommend people WATCH the movie before passing judgement.I admit I too was prejudging it but after watching it,I have to say this is one of the best movie WWE studios have made so far.
Chaperone actually delivers
Now I can probably guess what most of the people would think when hearing about this film for the first time. We have a WWE produced family comedy/light drama with wrestler Triple H in the title role. He doesn't quite look like the guy for this kinda role but then again we shouldn't judge the book by its cover. In truth Triple H can actually act. I found myself believing his acting and liking his character. I gotta say I enjoyed this movie more than some of Steve Austins action bloodbaths. If I was to give you some advice itd be go see this without prejudice. Leave expectations at the door and just go with the flow - the ride ain't half bad. 6/10
I was quite impressed
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.
Not a bad movie at all!
I watched this movie only because of Triple h. Now after watching it, i can tell you that triple h is big asset for this movie. Agreed the plot is really week but Triple h keeps the combo solemn and silly plot points rolling nicely along, and displays a surprisingly tender side that meshes smoothly with his more ferocious tendencies.This is the kinda movie you can enjoy watching with your kids and that is all it is. Triple h does a good performance and never once throughout the movie you would think he couldn't deliver. There is a decent mix of everything in this movie...few funny scenes like the bank robbery , good sentiment and some action ! Not a bad entertainer at all. My Rating - 6 out of 10! If you think this movie is bad ... plz don't ever watch Stan Helsing !!
While this is better than some it's still no 'KINDERGARTEN COP', or 'OVER THE TOP' for that matter!
'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).
