The Scorecard Review
Even though the melodrama gets ratcheted up at the end, there were plenty of moments I found myself cheering for the Champ.

Ebert & Roeper
Despite one great performance and an intriguing setup, the work is crippled by another performance that's nowhere near great, and a storyline that makes it impossible to root for the leading man.

There's no rule that says a movie must have a likable character at its center, but it helps if a nonlikable central character is at least interesting.

Resurrecting the Champ is a movie I was going to recommend. It was contrived and dopey, but it seemed like pleasant entertainment. Then came the terrible last ten minutes when it casts itself on the rancid junk heap of hokum.

Resurrecting the Champ is a specialty of director Rod Lurie, a civics lecture disguised as a film.

a contender that doesn't quite take a championship belt.

The movie itself -- which deals (not very interestingly) with the issue of journalistic integrity and (very predictably) with father-son relationships -- doesn't pack much of a wallop.
