Now, when I sat down to watch the 2023 movie "Champions" from director Bobby Farrelly, I was sort of expecting that I would be in for a good movie. Why? Well, the movie's synopsis just has that to it, the concept of the storyline here it just is something that you can't help to take to heart.
And I will say that writers Mark Rizzo, Javier Fesser and David Marqués didn't disappoint. The script for the movie was every bit as entertaining as it was heartwarming and beautiful. I was genuinely entertained by this movie from start to end. Sure, it was predictable, but the storyline just worked on many levels.
And the cast ensemble in the movie was good. Of course I was familiar with the likes of Woody Harrelson, Kaitlin Olson, Cheech Marin and Ernie Hudson. But the movie definitely had a lot of other good acting performances to it. All members of The Friends basketball team here were putting on some rather real and lovable performances.
If you can't enjoy a movie such as "Champions", then I don't really know what to say. I warmly recommend you to watch "Champions", especially if you enjoy a movie that sinks right in and sits with you for some time. This is definitely a feel-good movie.
My rating of "Champions" lands on a well-deserved seven out of ten stars.
