Crude humour and coarse language

It centres on a basketball team training and competing in the Special Olympics under the guidance of an imperfect but dedicated coach Marcus.

The film is centered around a stubborn and hotheaded minor league basketball coach who is sentenced to community service and forced to coach a Special Olympics team. The cast is led by Academy Award® nominated and Emmy Award winner Woody Harrelson (True Detective, Zombieland), Emmy Award nominated Kaitlin Olson (It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Hacks), Grammy nominated Cheech Marin (Born in East L.A, From Dusk Til Dawn), Matt Cook (Man With a Plan, The Comeback), and is rounded out by a cast of more than 10 actors with intellectual disabilities who authentically tell the story, including Madison Tevlin, Joshua Felder, Kevin Iannucci, Ashton Gunning, Matthew Von Der Ahe, Tom Sinclair, James Day Keith, Alex Hintz, Casey Metcalfe, Bradley Edens, and Champ Pederson”.
