Sweet Dreams is a 2024 American sports comedy drama film directed by Lije Sarki. The film stars Johnny Knoxville as a recovering alcoholic who forms a softball team with other patients at his rehab center to save the clinic from being sold.[1]

After waking up bloodied on a park bench due to a long night of drinking, Morris decides to check into the Sweet Dreams rehab center for a 90-day recovery program. At first he struggles to acclimate, but eventually Morris bonds with his fellow patients over softball.

When Pete, the owner of Sweet Dreams, learns that he is in danger of losing the clinic, the patients enter a local softball tournament in hopes that the prize money will prevent the center from being sold at auction.[2]
