Bobby Farrelly's first solo film, Champions, plays to his strengths in an endearing comedy starring Woody Harrelson, Kaitlin Olson, and Ernie Hudson. Our review:
It’s hard to believe that it’s been almost a decade since we’ve seen an actual Farrelly brothers movie. After 2014’s Dumb and Dumber To, Peter Farrelly went off on his own, won the Best Picture Oscar for Green Book, and released last year’s The Greatest Beer Run Ever. Yet in all this time, we haven’t seen a solo project from Bobby Farrelly.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Maybe one of the most remarkable things about the Farrelly brothers as filmmakers has been the inclusion within their films as they have been casting people with disabilities for decades. They’ve stated that when trying to tell stories about the real world, “it’s not real unless you include everyone,” and they’ve certainly grown over the years in how they utilize representation in their films.
Champions is also largely a story about dealing with disappointment and realizing that good can come even when dreams don’t work out the way you expected. Alex is still living at home, performing Shakespeare in a van for kids that have no interest in the Bard of Avon, but her love for her brother never makes this a problem. Marcus has dreamed of the big leagues, but his passion for the sport has always gotten the better of him.
