The Chaperone – Der etwas andere Aufpasser (2011)

The Chaperone – Der etwas andere Aufpasser: Directed by Stephen Herek. With Paul Levesque, Kevin Corrigan, José Zúñiga, Kevin Rankin. An ex-con on the run from his criminal past hides out from those he ratted on by chaperoning a field trip to New Orleans.

“Though Iu0026#39;m no wrestling fan, I am very familiar with the media presence of u0026quot;Triple Hu0026quot; (Paul Levesque). Who says (former) wrestlers canu0026#39;t make the big screen? The Rock, Mr. T (before he switched to pro boxing), The Hulkster, Andre the Giant, etc.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eLevesque 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 80u0026#39;s u0026#39;Mystic Pizzau0026#39; 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.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis film does NOT disappoint. I originally streamed it off Netflix, curious – seeing that u0026quot;Triple Hu0026quot; was in the title. Again, very impressive. A must-see indeed.”
