Critics Consensus

Although its apparent attempts to be uplifting can often come across as patronizing, Champions is an amiable enough comedy with some seriously talented stars.

Bobby Farrelly balanced out the sentimentalism with a sassy ensemble, led by Woody Harrelson’s reliably spiky energy.

Independent (UK)

There’s a self-righteousness to Champions that feels entirely unearned.

Irish Times

The film fights hard to draw humour from the players’ often eccentric demeanours without holding them up to ridicule. For the most part it succeeds.

Rated: 3/5

While Farrelly isn't uncomfortable in foreign territory, there is no doubt he's playing away from home, with marked cards and within pre-established parameters, when his environment has always been freedom and tone overtures. [Full review in Spanish]

Ramble On With Buffa (Substack)

A handful of funny moments can't rescue diet Woody Harrelson and a recycled sports story. Watch it when there's laundry to be folded.
