Woody Harrelson stars in the hilarious and heartwarming story of a former minor-league basketball coach who, after a series of missteps, is ordered by the court to manage a team of players with intellectual disabilities. He soon realises that despite his doubts, together, this team can go further than they ever imagined.
This life-affirming and touching comedy reminds us that people with disabilities have ambitions, are capable of achieving their goals, and are an integral part of modern society.
A wonderful choice for family viewing, especially if you enjoy a movie that sinks right in and sits with you for some time.
Bobby Farrelly balanced out the sentimentalism with a sassy ensemble, led by Woody Harrelson’s reliably spiky energy.
