ComingSoon spoke with Champions director Bobby Farrelly about the upcoming sports comedy movie.
director Bobby Farrelly about the upcoming sports comedy movie. Farrelly discussed the difficulty of modern comedy and his thoughts on Jim Carrey’s retirement.“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,” reads the film’s synopsis.
I think the way that filmmakers should portray them is to just show the full-rounded humanness of them. Don’t always make people with disabilities into heroes or don’t make them into villains or don’t make them like they have to be a certain stereotype. Just show that they’re just like everyone else. They just have a disability. It’s, it’s that simple.
You and your brother have made tons of hilarious comedies How would you say that comedy as a genre has evolved since the 1990s and has your style adjusted for the times?
