The Chaperone (2011)
6/10
I just wanted to see Triple H
5 March 2011
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'
