There's nothing wrong with Resurrecting the Champ, but there's nothing particularly memorable either. Samuel L. Jackson plays a different kind of character for once. He's good, the rest of the cast is merely average. Just like the film.

This movie was okay. Samuel L. Jackson played a homeless drunk. He got into the role, but wasn't as good as usual. Teri Hatcher's cameo was nice, but that's all it was. Josh Hartnett is a really annoying lead guy, and is unconvincing as a father. There was a moment toward the end that ruined the movie. Why make a movie about this if everything is screwed and pretty much leaves the audiences feeling bad afterwards
