    I only really watched this movie because of Patricia Manterola. The movie is not all bad, but it is not good either. Released as a Christian movie, it does not have all that much religion in it. The movie is all about doing the right thing and love story. On a personal note by be...( read more)ing friends with Patty (Manterola) I have distaste for Carman now that I know how he acted behind the scenes (but that is a different story). It is a movie that almost everyone can live without. Sorry Patty!

    Carman Rules. I love him growing up. In this he shows fighting for thouse u care about and what u beleive in is better than fighting for money and fame.

    I saw the movie and I love this movie! I have the DVD and the VHS BOTH. Carman was fantastic in this movie. I wish he would make another movie. I am a BIG fan of Carman and his music and his movies. I sincerely wish I could meet him. I respect his values and his stand for Christ no matter what he has gone thru in his personnal life and he shas went thru so much. I saw him in Phoenix,Ariz.in the Heart of a Champion tour and I was thrilled! I would give just about anything to meet him and be able to talk to him for an hour or so. He has my respect and admiration.

    I saw The Champion.CARMAN was awesome!I just love CARMAN!

    I love his music and what he does to reach out to the unsaved.That are hurting and don't have a personal relationship with Jesus.
