Watched this sweet little comedy on the flight back from Toronto. Firmly within the genre of "unrealistic, but heart-warming sports movie" it was the perfect in-flight movie for the chronically flight fearful, like myself.

Plotline without spoilers: Woody Harrelson plays a Bob Huggins-adjacent basketball coach whose DUI court sentence is a measly 90-days of community service coaching a Special Olympics hopeful basketball team in Des Moines, Iowa.

There's real heart in this movie in its various subplots and plenty of good laughs. Aside from the totally unrealistic basketball moments, it was hard for me to get on board with Kaitlin Olson ([I]Always Sunny) [/I]as Woody's romantic interest, even though I really liked her in this role. I also couldn't stop wondering if Woody was high for the entirety of the filming, especially with Cheech Marin as his co-star (he's excellent in his role).

Anywho, a light, sweet comedy that entertained during a flight. Not a strong recommend, but overall I enjoyed it.
