Champions (2023)
7/10
One of the best special needs comedies I've ever seen.
12 May 2023
My title sounds a little bad but its hard to clarify a title IN the title. This was a charmingly simple comedy that has actual autistic and special needs actors in it and they're fantastically funny. You never feel like you're making fun of them or their disabilities. They're just funny with what they do as who they are. So great to have a movie that allows them to be who they are and still act. Nothing ground-breaking but just a solid comedy that deserves a solid 7*. The movies could have focused on some dumb lesson like "he learns that they're people too" or nor does it set unrealistic expectations for them to achieve. This story is better than that. It feels more like that Keanu movie Hardball but with autistic kids. Solid watch.
