Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

I'll tell you why so serious

The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

Carman: The Champion was a wonderful movie for those of us who are Christians. I wouldn't say that is was the best movie ever made, but it also wasn't the worst either. I enjoyed it very much. At least someone had the courage to make a movie like that. And it is one of the few movies out there that has no harsh language, no nudity, and it has worship music in it. I think Carman should be commended for this movie. I know he worked long and hard to make a movie like this. At least someone is trying to get the message and the gospel out there for people to see. I wish there were more movies like this one out there. There are far to few of them in my opinion. Thank you.

This is a mediocre and predictable movie indeed, with nary a hint of inspiration or originality. There is a fleeting bit of chemistry between The Champion and female lead Paty Manterola, who takes a break from her usual spicy lesbian-latina roles to play the straight love interest here. Carman Licciardello, the star of this ill-conceived vehicle, is an evangelical media personality who tours the country with a Bible-centered song-and-dance show that mainly draws a teen female audience. He is pushing 50 and has never been married, but always travels with a fresh crew of lithe young male dancers that perform with him onstage. While his highly profitable music video projects tend to be corny, tacky and sophomoric, in this movie he shows off his buff body and tries to present a more sophisticated and masculine persona. Unfortunately he is dogged at every turn by a dull script and forgettable supporting cast, with the possible exception of Manterola. But keep your eye on the fabulous Carman, as I am sure we will hear much more about him in the future!

Carman: The Champion is what a Christian movie should be. I would have liked to have seen the plan of salvation given at some point, but I that is no big deal. The movie is marketed for Christians, who should have heard the plan of salvation before seeing the film. The movie is free of sexuality, excessive gore, or profanity..with the exception of the one commercial that the rival boxer stars in. Why is this word in a CHRISTIAN movie!?? The product could have been called anything else in the world, why did the producers find it necessary to put this word (repeatedly) in this one small meaningless segment of the movie? That is the only major flaw I found in what was otherwise an awesome movie. Fellow believers need to support movies like this. As someone on the NearGod Productions page put it, "A revival in Hollywood will affect the entire world." Well said, go rent it!

This was a wonderful film, I was completely surprised on how well it was done. The story was very good, and the action scenes were much more realistic that those of the "Rocky" series. The film contained some scenes that were a little intense but it fits the real world. Wonderful job!I want to see it again, and also get the film on video.
