DAVID’S REVIEW: Another missed opportunity. Champions had all of the pieces to be an original hit. The movie was dull and missing its heart. Champions was a comedy, but tried too hard to be a drama with forced sappiness. It didn’t work well. The screenplay was terrible and it was the movie’s downfall. Woody Harrelson saved it from being a complete dud, but even his charm and charisma couldn’t keep this film from being slightly below average. Save this one for when it drops on a streaming service in 2 months.
