Storyline

Ray Bradstone (Levesque) is the best wheel man in the business, but he is determined to go straight and be the best parent he can be to his daughter, Sally (Winter), and make amends with his ex-wife, Lynne (Gish). As Ray struggles to find honest work, his old bank-robbing crew, led by Phillip Larue (Corrigan), offers him one last job. He agrees at first, but changes his mind at the last second leaving the crew without a driver. Ray decides instead to serve as a chaperone for Sally's school field trip. When the robbery goes awry, Larue blames Ray and chases the school bus all the way to the Museum of Natural History in New Orleans. Ray must deal with Larue, while supervising Sally's class on what becomes one of the craziest school trips ever.

Time To Play The Game!

Continuing their attempt to take over the comedy genre following the "massive success" of last year's Knucklehead, WWE presents The Chaperone starring sixteen year WWE veteran Paul Levesque AKA - Triple H. Now for me the last WWE "superstar" I wanted to see hit the big screen would be The Game, the man who has dominated WWE television for over a decade and will continue to dominate it for years to come not to mention being next in line to run the company once Vince Mcmahon finally kicks the bucket! But credit where credit is due and I have to admit that Trips makes for a passable leading man in this movie and would in no way be pinpointed as having no prior big screen acting experience as he holds his own against a decent supporting cast that includes comedy veterans Kevin Corigan, Yeardley Smith and Enrco Colantoni. The Chaperone is not a fantastic movie but then WWE Pictures have never released a fantastic movie so expectations will always be low, hence I cannot slate The Chaperone too badly as it achieves what it sets out to do as a fun inoffensive comedy that can be enjoyed by the entire family, just not a great one of course!
