    Great Comedy

    A must watch! Paper Champions is a gentle film well suited for current times. The film is well paced, having great comedic moments entwined within it. Cast all deliver great performances, and the dialogue seems realistic. The cinematography is a personal favourite, with a great colour grade as well!

    Had a good laugh!

    I don't normally like Australian movies but I liked that, I really liked that! Very fun!

    Loved all the one liners!

    Good comedy, with a fun cast. I loved all the one liners! I'm from Geelong, so I also enjoyed seeing all the locations as well. The story reminded me of the power of community and how we need each other to be our best! Recommend watching!

    The most heart warming film I've seen in a long time!

    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!

    An excellent homegrown movie!

    Paper Champions is a feel good film that will have you smiling throughout. Loved seeing the different locations around Geelong, and the set design and costumes screamed 80's vibe. The pace of the movie isn't fast, but it moves smoothly with enough 'laugh-out-loud' moments to keep the viewer engaged. The story line is strong and easy to follow and is complimented by a cast of very quirky characters. Standout performances by Luke Saliba, Tessa De Josselin and Don Bridges. I came away from watching this movie feeling uplifted and happy. Highly recommended if you enjoy quirky Aussie movies.
