Synopsis

Champions (2023) is a sports comedy-drama from director Bobby Farrelly that you can watch online on iFILM. Woody Harrelson stars as a short-fused minor-league basketball coach whose career collapses after one bad night.

Marcus is the kind of coach who shoves his boss and gets thrown out of the gym. A drunk-driving crash lands him 90 days of community service: coach a Special Olympics team called the Friends. He treats it like a sentence at first, counting down the days. Then the players get under his skin — one panics around the ball, one nails every layup, one just wants someone to actually listen. Kaitlin Olson plays Alex, sharp and unimpressed, with her own history with Marcus that he didn't see coming.

Farrelly, half of the brothers behind Dumb and Dumber, remade the 2018 Spanish hit Campeones and cast real actors with intellectual disabilities for the team, which is exactly why the warmth never feels staged. It's funny where you brace for schmaltz and lands a punch where you expect a gag. Stream Champions (2023) online on iFILM.
