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.

The Chaperone is not a bad movie. I am saying bad, because the antagonist in the film, isn't really bad, he is more an idiot with problems. When you take Triple H, a big strong guy with the facial expressions that will make you run back to your mommy(no matter what age you are), you need a antagonist that is as bad as Triple H is good(as wrestler). Opposites it's called, to bring the good and bad with a great big bang together and give you a force of attraction. Now. The acting isn't bad. Triple H pulled it off. But the question you should be asking yourself is "Do I want to see a movie with great acting and a story that will knock me off my feet?"(I know you wouldn't ask yourself the way I formulated it, but stick with me) If your answer is yes, then you will be better of watching Inception or King's Speech. But if you want to see Triple H act in a movie. If you saw him in Blade Trinity and thought "Cool, that was Triple H", then watching The Chaperone won't be a bad idea. I like Triple H. He is a good wrestler. It was interesting to see him act in a action-comedy. He had his moments.So if you are planning on watching this movie, then do it with the knowledge that I have shared with you. It's Triple H. Just enjoy it.

::Contains a very minor spoiler towards the end:: Was hoping for a fairly entertaining experience, but when I saw the WWE logo I knew it was going to be a tough movie to watch/keep interested in. The lead role, obviously a wrestler though I've never heard of him (I don't watch wrestling). His acting and script is as interesting and deep as what any wrestler does on stage. With a better written movie he might be OK, but this movie is seriously lacking in a realistic script and is full of clichés. Some of the actors/actresses do a fairly decent job and manage to make it bearable though there were several spots that made me just shake my head in disbelief. Take for example, the bank scene, the dialogue and events were so unbelievable I was tempted to turn the movie off. In the end, watch it if you have nothing else to do.

Hi dudes, myself Amit From India. Here just like worldwide, so many people loves John Cena,Randy Orton but hardly anyone think themselves as TRIPLE H OR BRET HART .When TRIPLE H took a break from WWE before 7-8 months i understand that he has to recover himself from injuries as well as he was doing something different. Then i came to know that he was doing the movie. so i was eagerly waiting to see TRIPLE H in the movie and guys its really wonderful to see him again. We have to remember that he is not a natural born actor he is wrestler first and then he is doing acting so we have to keep faith in him. What John Cena done in movie Marine or 12 Rounds except action. But friends in THE Chaperone Paul sometimes makes u emotional, he done few action as well as comedy act too. Overall the movie is good and acting department is also good but i think the weaker part of movie is story. Its so simple and nothing fresh! So as a WWE fan i would like to Suggest that good try but we want more!
