To do this, steals the masks and prosthetics of his father, a Hollywood make-up and costume designerand literally transforms into another person: Chad Powers who, little by little, wins the coach’s trust and his space in the world of football.
Chad Powers is a comedy that underlines the value of revenge and second chances: brilliant writing that alternates sharp jokes, grotesque situations and bitter reflections on life helps to bring out sport as a narrative device to tell the story of transformations, falls and the infinite opportunities for rebirth.
For lovers of comedies with an introspective aftertaste.
