Formulaic story, but fun. The players are the real stars and it's a fun movie to watch. Each player has character development and the story moves at an easygoing pace. Wanted a positive, uplifting, fun movie, and this fit that. Some crude remarks, some sexual situations between the main character and his love interest (and references to the players being sexually active). Not a hard PG-13, though. I found it respectful of the players. Unlike many sports movies, there was actually a fair bit of basketball being played. My guess is the opposing team at the championship game is probably more typical of Special Olympics play. But come for the special spirits and uplifting attitudes.
