Leave your thoughts about Champions.
| ObserverEmily ZemlerWritten by Mark Rizzo and based on a 2018 Spanish film called Campeones (which is itself based on a true story), Champions is one of those movies that doesn’t swing for the fences or try to change the game. Instead, it wins with good sportsmanship and positivity. |
| The PlaylistSimon ThompsonIt both ticks genre boxes and throws up some touches that elevate it, such as a car karaoke scene. While not groundbreaking, the audience will root for everyone here, both in front of and behind the camera. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperWe know we’ll be fed something we’ve consumed many times before, and there’s not a single development that comes as even a mild surprise, and it makes for a comforting, enjoyable and satisfying experience. |
| Arizona RepublicKaely MonahanIt's all very relatable. The film allows audiences to see that we are all human beings trying to make sense of the world and live our lives. |
| ColliderRoss BonaimeIt’s that heart that makes Champions better than expected, a shaggy underdog story that might be a bit overlong and a bit awkward in places, but with charming characters that help smooth out these rough edges. In doing so, Bobby Farrelly sticks to his comedic sensibilities, creating an endearing comedy that doesn’t need to break from the formula of similar films that have come before. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckChampions, feels overly familiar. But that doesn’t make this sure-to-be crowd-pleaser any less winning, especially with the endlessly likable Harrelson at its center. |
| Los Angeles TimesKatie WalshFor the most part, it is warmly amusing without diving too far into the realm of the maudlin or treacly; and it side-steps anything insensitive while still enjoying some bawdy humor. |
| The GuardianPeter BradshawThis big-hearted underdog sports comedy runs on rails, with no great surprises, but it’s likable. |
| The Irish TimesDonald ClarkeThe film fights hard to draw humour from the players’ often eccentric demeanours without holding them up to ridicule. For the most part it succeeds. |
| Time OutPhil de SemlyenIt’s not going to win too many trophies, but Champions is still a cheering watch. |
