One of the most heart-rending films in the history of films
I first watched this film in 1980 as a five year old with my gran and we managed to distort the credits through our tears and sobbing. I received the video about four years ago, and as a twenty-two year old it had the same effect. Last night, I watched the Champ with my girlfriend and I am happy to say that the years haven’t mellowed me and we were both in floods of tears before I switched the film off. I defy anybody who has an emotional bone in their body not to be touched by the story of Billy Flynn, and more importantly TJ. I won’t give any of the storyline away as it will make it all the better for watching if you haven’t seen it. As for me, I can’t wait until the Champ get’s it DVD release as I will be first in the queue.

“I want the Champ !”

Teary Eyed
If you’re a bloke and you don’t like the idea of anybody seeing you cry, watch this film on your own. Yes it is that sad.

Really well made and brilliant performances all round, the kid TJ is one of the sweetest kids I’ve ever seen on screen, absolutely adorable with bags of talent.

John Voight was brilliant as well as a down on his luck ex boxer who’s just trying to make a good life for himself and his son. The story is one that I’m sure many can relate with, whether you’re a single parent, have a great relationship with your father or can simply appreciate a film with strong acting. If you have a son that loves you as much as TJ loved ‘the champ’ your very lucky and should treat each day as your last.

The only other film that had me welling up like this was the Imitation of Life also well worth a look , but have tissues to hand! This review is coming from a cynical bloke too! CBR
