Plot: Billy (Jon Voight) is on the road with his son T.J. (Ricky Schroder), fighting low-end boxing matches for drinking money before moving on to the next town for another match. When his ex-wife (and T.J.'s mother) Annie (Faye Dunaway) shows up, it's to tell him that she wants custody of the boy. She has remarried and has risen to social prominence in her community. She wants the same for T.J. Determined to keep his son with him, Billy decides to train properly in order to be a success instead of just a washed-up punching bag. This gorgeously photographed drama is a remake of the 1931 film, which won its star Wallace Beery an Oscar. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide

What happended to Jon Voight?!!
Added 6/12/2009

I used to enjoy Jon Voight. Deliverance was perfect, and he was rockin' it in Heat. Midnight Cowboy was lovely. I even dug the Champ. Now I learn that he's a complete fool who hates Obama and thinks the country is headed to hell (or at least socialism). No wonder Angelina won't speak to him anymore. Doesn't it just suck when actors you admired do that? Damn. Jon, you're an idiot mate.

Should viewed by all teens as they contemplate marriage someday.

The only negative is the irreverant use of God's name. The movie is one that all men should view whenever they want to take marraige, or sex in general, lightly. The pain and hurt that adults put on children just because they put their own sexual desires ahead of long-term thought is depicted so well in this film.
This is an excellent movie to be watched by an entire family to open up productive communication between parents and teens.

Movie's great, DVD wasn't!

Well, I do love the movie "The Champ". Actually, we "tried" to watch it last night and it was completely fine until about the 8th scene, where it stopped and there was nothing on it afterward. We tried to put it into another DVD player on another tv and unfortunately, the same thing. I guess the DVD is defective. It was mailed in good time and everything in that regard was fine, it's just that it didn't work after the 8th scene. We tried everything after that scene, yet nothing would show. Well, I hope I could get another copy. thanks.

I wish I had read closer and seen it was a VHS. The tape is fine and the delivery was punctual. I was so excited about the price and locating the movie, I ordered without noticing it was a VHS ad not a CD. My bad. But I would order from this company again.
