Jump through hoops and feel good next month when Universal Pictures Home Entertainment release Comedy Champions on Blu-ray and DVD.
The film comes from acclaimed comedic filmmaker Bobby Farrelly (There’s Something About Mary, Me, Myself & Irene), and stars Woody Harrelson. Both are no stranger to each other when they both worked together on Kingpin 27 years ago.
This time not a crude comedy, Champions is a 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 film was more popular with cinephiles compared to critics who where a bit more mixed. Cinephiles loved it’s warmth and a compelling film with honesty, next month you can own it.
