Critic Reviews of "The Champ"
Denver PostApril 01, 2007A three-alarm, three-hanky movie of the highest order, perfect for your kids who don't get to see many truly sad films.
Chicago ReaderApril 01, 2007The tear-jerking is so determined and persistent that your ducts feel as if they'd been worked over with a catheter.
New York TimesMay 09, 2005The most offputting thing about such canny, tear-stained movies as The Champ is not their naïveté but their unholy sophistication. These movies don't mean to deal with the world as it really is, but as it should be.
EmanuelLevy.ComAugust 21, 2010Zeffirelli's inferior remake to King Vidor's 1932 classic, starring Jon Voight in the Oscar-winning role that Wallace Beery had originated, is a manipulative tear-jerking melodrama.
TV GuideApril 01, 2007The original film took 85 minutes, this one 121; the extra length has not improved the story.
Kansas City KansanJanuary 04, 2005Pale remake of Wally Berry classic.
Nolan's Pop Culture ReviewNovember 11, 2004Voight is fine as boxer on a comeback, but Ricky Schroeder steals the film. I dare you not to cry!
FilmsInReview.comFebruary 13, 2004I admit it. I cried.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)August 21, 2003Seek out the 1931 King Vidor version.
Film4May 24, 2003Even more of a tear-jerker than the 1931 version of the same story, there is not a dry eye on the screen.
Henderson Home News (Henderson, NV)February 19, 2003Great performance from Jon Voight and Rick Schroeder
