The English-language remake titled "Champions" (2023), directed by Bobby Farrelly and starring Woody Harrelson, retains the core plot but Americanizes the humor. It received mixed reviews compared to the original, with critics noting that the Spanish version felt more genuine and less formulaic.
Directed by Javier Fesser, the film tells the story of Marco Montes, a professional basketball coach who is arrogant, temperamental, and ultimately fired and arrested for drunk driving. As part of his community service sentence, he is forced to coach a basketball team of people with intellectual disabilities.
