I actually auditioned for this movie a couple years ago!!! And I have Down Syndrome!!! It was an honor to audition for this movie and I can’t wait to watch it with my friends and my parents!!!
Never got a callback?
@@onlyone23km nope didn’t get it!! All because I don’t know any basketball terms!!
@@christopherlopes7321 but you play SO basketball, right?
@@onlyone23km yes I used to with unified sports
@@christopherlopes7321 and they never taught you the terms?
Literally just left the theater after seeing this movie and it was excellent. I'm surprised it hasn't been advertised more. Sadly, I was only 1 of 3 people in the showing. This film definitely deserves more attention.
I took my disabled mom to this today, her first movie in a theater in years. We laughed and cried through the whole thing, yes it’s predictable but it’s very heart warming just the same.
I just got back from the theater. I got heavy 80s vibes throughout. I thought some of the "bad guys" were a bit cliche, and it was predictable, but I don't care, it was fun.
@@tb9489 that's excellent. Glad y'all enjoyed it together
@Dr. J that's true. It was predictable but, I enjoyed it as well
Amen!! Just watched and I too feel the passion to help them spread their wonderful message. I truly hope others will do the same. If those Hollywood tightwads don't wana advertise their own movie, surly we can help Woody and his FRIENDS spread their message. So if your reading this "yes you, don't look away!" and you just watched this amazing movie. And if your feeling that warmness in your heart, then you heard their message and your feeling the goodness in it. Help me, help them, by telling others of the joys this movie brings. Go Woody!!!
“In fact…NOT just accepted. We want to be INCLUDED!”
👏👏👏
Can’t wait to see this film!
I didn’t think I would cry, but😢
Woody and Maddison holding hands the entire time had me 🫠💖
I just Watched Champions. I normally do not watch basketball, but this was such a great movie. Woody Harrlson and cast did one of best movies Ive seen in a very long time.
America needs more of these types of movies.
Parent of son with a disabilities. Loved it SO well acted by all.
It wasn't just funny...it is real life.
I loved it myself. It was very true to life.
I love the way Woody and Madison are holding hands. So sweet!
I watched this not even knowing the cast actually had disabilities and weren't fully acting. The girl should have her own TV show. Amazing
You totally missed the point of the movie when you say they weren't fully acting.
She's awesome. I love her.
Ikr I didn’t know that till just now I mean I knew the girl with Down syndrome had a disability but I didn’t know the rest of them did that’s so cool because I have a disability too and I’m really talented and i love to act so I could have been in this movie 😉👍
I loved this movie! Awesome plot, acting was so good. Had everything, told my family to go see it. I hope we see more movies like this. Thanks Woody and all
Spanish movie is getting a sequel this year.
I LOVE THIS MOVIE.
And the dance scene at the end was one of my favorite parts.
Just left the theater and thought this movie was FANTASTIC.
This movie was humbling, heartwarming, funny and a phenomenal cast that showed 'Friends' with heart are stronger than 'Beasts'.
Just watched & I was blown away at how heartwarming & good it was. Definitely worth a watch!!!
This movie was just amazing! Loved every minute of it❤❤❤
Movie was absolutely amazing! Will be watchable for years to come!!
About bloody time Hollywood brings out a movie reach all the demographics!!
Champions are Champions for daring to be one of the first well at least in a long time on the big screen who are representing people with developmental challenges need to be the best they can be too!
hear, hear!! Woody was the perfect actor for this role too. I mean with 'White man can't jump' and this one. It's almost to perfect a way to start and end his amazing career. Not that I'm saying he's done, but this movie, would really be the perfect one. The one to finalize the beginning and ending of a lifetime of bring other the joys of laughter through his craft. And with such a positive message too, like I said, "The perfect one".
Can’t wait to see this! So fun watching them off screen in this interview together!
I just watched this movie today,those kids are so smart and great actors love them♥️
This was the best movie I've seen in a long time! ❤ It has funny scenes but some also gave me a heartfelt happy cry. ❤
Great little movie! I've worked in residential and training facility for adults with DD for about 15 years there are a lot of subtle accuracies in this film people who work the field will spot. Funny stuff!
This movie was great btw, definitely worth a watch
My mom worked with kids in group homes and facilities. We hosted multiple kids in our home. Years later they always remembered Ms rose. The "kids" always would hug me and were surprised how big I got and said always we remember Ms rose. Always a real hug. Down syndrome people love and trust the most true. This film was awesome. Constantino was so funny. Woody and all the actors you could tell loved acting together. Thank you for this it was like spending time with my mom again and why she loved her work.
This is a brilliant movie I loved it I also have a disability it’s real life pretty much I hope they do more movies like this
I saw the movie and they were actually really good actors.
Hope to see more of them!
Johnny was the star of the movie!
I'mma watch this again..😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 lovely movie
This was an awesome movie, didn’t know what to expect, but from the start it just got better and better as the movie went on. It wasn’t corny or weird it was an honest feel good movie just kept pulling you in more and more as it went on to the end and the credits roll with them doing the their music and instruments and stuff was cool. So happy fir all the characters who were in it and the wonderful opportunity for them to see themselves in a movie as the main characters. Good job Woody & Company.
An incredibly beautiful & wonderful movie! It’s a must see!
Awareness is not acceptance ❤ these people are amazing
I just want to give each and every one of the kids a big hug . made an old man happy .
I saw the film on April 1st. Very enjoyable, very entertaining and very funny. I recommend it for everyone. Definitely a pleasure to watch! 💯%
I SAW THE GUY WITH THE AFRO AT THE BARBER SHOP AT THE TAMPA MALL

Only movie that got me wanting to go to an actual movie theatre to watch instead of waiting for the stream these days
Geez Woody must've been baked for months straight God bless that man
Would you like to get some more clarification to your comment?
@@carrieb5711 good nug up in Canada
10/10!!!
Good for him. They should be included. People that are dealing with actual and real disenfranchisement..
WE LOVE YOOOOUUU!!!!!😄😄🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I PERSONALLY HAVE SPECIAL NEEDS😁
Returned in semi-pro 2008
💜
Keep trying buddy!!! Eventually you’ll get a part!
💙🙌🏼💜
Unfortunately this movie has bad morals. Remove the bad morals and this could have been shown to all kids.
Care to share which ones? I think it was rated pg-13 or R anyway so it’s for a more mature audience anyway. I thought it was brilliant!
I cannot wait to go see this multiple learning disability and physical disability. Woody Harrelson and Kaitlin Olson current to my favorite shows of all time so this looks pretty good cry and laugh
I wonder how close the story is to the Shane Gillis Special Olympics bit?
What a great, feel good movie. Had me laughing way more than cocaine bear
Wait what, Cocaine Bear was suppose to be a comedy? I thought it was a horror movie. And yes I saw it, I mean sure it a few funny moments, but 85% of the movie was people being torn limb from limb and kids(like 9yo's) doing drugs. Not my idea of comedy. Not really into the horror vibe. And unlike some sickos🙄, I don't get those jolly warm feelings that are usually associated with comedies, from watching people being torn apart and little kids taking drugs.
"You just see me tell this future serial killer off!! Now that's comedy🤣😂😅😆"
@@BudManLXXIX God you must be real fun at parties
Half the shiz the interviewers said was pretty bad.
And this was not woke is good
WAKE UP PEOPLE. THIS IS ABLEIST!!!!
What do you mean?
What?
It’s…. About adults with disabilities…. played by actors with disabilities…. Sponsored by the special Olympics…..
Thanks for sticking up for all the people paying attention! ❤
Its the best American Version from Spainish Movie created and directed by Javier Fesser called Campeones. Thank You to Woody Harrelson and the epic disability cast From the Europe's funniest country name Spain. Y Gracias Universal por sacar una secuela de una las ganadoras peliculas de los Goyas que en españa podemos ver muy bien en los cines
Great movie!!
