Curiosidades
Woody Harrelson had high praise for costar Madison Tevlin after working with her on the film. He was quoted as saying: "She's not a great basketball player, but she is a movie star."

Erros de gravação
(at around 1h 40 mins) The Champions are chasing their opponents across the court, and the character Marlon (Casey Metcalfe) can be seen with his protective headgear; also Cosentino (Madison Tevlin) is behind him. The team scores, and it cuts back to the bench, and Marlon and Cosentino can be seen sitting on the side-lines behind Marcus (Woody Harrelson).

Citações
Cosentino: Your heart's a long way from your knee. Suck it up!

Cenas durante ou pós-créditos

Enjoyable heart warming tale of Connection

My Review-Champions My Rating. 7:10

Champions was a really pleasant surprise and very entertaining as I know nothing about basket ball beyond the Harlem Globetrotters and that catchy tune.

It's a familiar plot about a former disgraced baseball coach Marcus beautifully cast with Woody Harrelson in the lead resurrecting his career and self esteem.

Marcus after being charged with a drink driving charge is assigned to community service coaching a team of intellectually disadvantaged players.

Coach Marcus soon realises that this team simply called The Friends shows promise and his aloof rough tough exterior and ego soon begins to thaw .

Especially when the infectious personalities and warmth of this team simply named The Friends convinces him to take them further perhaps even to Special Olympic status .

Marcus also embarks on a casual romantic interest in one of the team members Johnny's sister Alex played delightfully by Kaitlin Olson .

This relationship contributes to both Alex and Marcus having to face some soul searching truths about each other and the direction their lives are heading .

Apart from Woody Harrelson and Kaitlin Olsen the most enjoyable aspect of this movie are the team members a talented group of young intellectually challenged young people.

Standout performance by Madison Tevlin as the feisty female member Cosentino , Kevin Iannucci as Johnny the brother of Alex a wisecracking teen who is adored and protected by his sister.

Also Matt Cook as Sonny who shows Marcus the value of friendship and Casey Metcalfe as Marlon the autistic savant who can rattle of amazing facts about any subject to the amazement of Marcus.

This is a delightful if predictable story of hope and connection adapted from a 2018 Spanish film titled Campeones which I must try and track down the screenplay writers and director Bobby Farrelly have produced a very entertaining and thoughtful insight into the world of sport for intellectually disadvantaged people of all ages .
