Bobby Farrelly, of the Farrelly Brothers, makes his directorial debut with this comedic tale of a disagreeable former minor-league basketball coach court-ordered to manage a team of intellectually disabled players. Based on the Spanish film "Campeones" by Javier Fesser, Farrelly and Harrelson imbue this new version with their signature big-hearted humor and humanity. There are touches of "Kingpin" and "Something About Mary" in the mix, but the real focus is on how far the coach and his new team can go together. Kaitlin Olson shines in her starring role opposite Harrelson.
