The Chaperone

source: The Chaperone

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.

This film is about an ex con trying to become a better man / father and escape his past and the scum-bag people from it. Paul Levesque does a great job in this, which really pulls this film together nicely, i enjoyed his character development throughout the film, one of the reasons viewers will enjoy watching Paul play Ray is how loyal and honest he appears. it's easy to see why Sally trusts him. quite smart with a little action and humor. Not sure why every review starts with WWE studios or wrestling, this movie has nothing to do with wrestling in any way. can't wait to seen more films with Paul Levesque. Highly recommended film, pity it didn't get more attention, I'd watch many times 8/10.

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.
