This film is truly a wonderful story of Rey who is figuring out who he is and where he fits in the world. It brings a smile and laughter as it shows unique and lively characters.
Paper Champions is a great Aussie comedy with plenty of laughs and heart felt moments. It's a story of self discovery, and while it explores masculinity it never assigns value to any particular expression of it, leading to a feel good flick that has a deeper meaning.
Great performances from the big names like John Tui and Gary Sweet, along with awesome work by some new faces and lesser known actors.
Great to see regional Australia represented on the big screen, a great homegrown movie!

Paper Champions not only provides a great laugh but it is a feel good film that will have you smiling throughout. The different locations, set design and costumes had a great 80's vibe that added a sense of nostalgia. There were so many loveable characters and a outstanding performance by lead actor (Luka Saliba).
Highly recommend!

A very entertaining flick with plenty of 'laugh-out-loud' moments. It has an empathetic story with unique & colourful characters. The story moves along pretty quickly and is complemented by a dynamic yet unusual duo Rey (Luke Saliba) and Wade (John Tui) who both deliver a great performance. With soul-lifting, humorous moments throughout most scenes, I walked away from this film feeling refreshed which is a great response to a film. Simple, elegant yet captivating. Highly recommended.
I don't normally like Australian movies but I liked that, I really liked that! Very fun!
