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!
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.
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!
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.
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!
