I'm leaving this review as i was stunned no one had reviewed this yet, it's very much in the same vein as The Ringer which starred Johnny Knoxville and was a based on a true story and it was a comedy about the special olympics. Champions stars the ever excellent Woody Harrelson as an assistant coach for a basketball team, still stuck in the past and very un-pc he get's himself suspended from the team and get's caught drink driving, at his sentence in court the judge appoints him 3 months community service in which he needs to coach a special needs basketball team. The team are a close knit bunch and put coach through all the trials and tribulations that come in every movie like this, from trust to the coach having to come out his comfort zone in dealing with the teens, it's all in here but what this film does have in abundance is charm and wit, well written and acted this is a very fun film about the underdog coming good and a normal person learning to love, listen and care more for all that are around him, a good family friendly comedy that everyone will enjoy, a solid 6.5/10 for me.
