Starts off with a bang but fizzles - Resurrecting the Champ Reviews

From the first third of the movie I was engaged and looking forward to the unfolding revelation which would make this movie worthwhile. What a shame that this interesting subject gets muddled in too many subplots in which the director can't keep the momentum going in any of them. Last half of the movie is a yawn and then ends without satisfaction. Josh is a cute but seems to immature for this role and not believable as a loving dad at a life changing crossroad. Samuel L. Jackson's talents were wasted in this caricature of an elderly boxer now homeless. He is capable of so much more.
