Not even runners up

 

Champions (2023)


Directed by Bobby Farrelly this film stars Woody Harrelson, Kaitlin Olson, Ernie Hudson and Cheech Marin. A basketball coach with a temper is sentenced to community service coaching a team with intellectual disabilities.


Right from the get go every story beat of this film is very obvious making the whole thing seem a bit lazy. There are times that the script gets very close to being overly patronising however it mostly stays just about on the right side. With a little more thought and a more serious approach this could have been a better effort.


2/5
