About
You’ll like this if you want a heartfelt, humorous underdog sports story and lots of uplifting perseverance; Not for you if you dislike feel-good biopics or want purely serious Olympics drama, and you may prefer Nyad or The World's Fastest Indian.
Pros: feel-good inspiration; funny underdog charm; strong performances | Cons: a bit slow-starting; sometimes cheesy
