Review of Resurrecting the Champ

once again, i am writing a review of a movie that I would normally have not have bothered to because of the absurd ratings and reviews this is getting from the small number of people who did bother to hit the keyboard. This is a dull movie and in today's modern journalism era where everything can be checked on google in seconds, it does surprise me this was even a true story, maybe someone was being economical with the facts. Along with the central plot of the champion being alive and homeless and not dead as thought,there's this sub-plot supposedly linked to these events about hartnett's dad who was also a journalist but you never saw him and you're not even told fully how he supposedly "wronged" his son and then there's his relationship with his own son and separation from his wife, again that is not explained, this apparently all comes together at the end, well it didn't for me and it was all OTT and schmaltzy anyway. My problem with Josh Hartnett is he is a bore, I've never met him but I bet he's got no personality, I don;t think I've seen one film he;s in that I've liked. If there was a saving grace to this film, it was samuel jackson ( a man who definitely has a personality) who was excellent as the homeless, deceiving bum, there was also a good cameo from teri hatcher and she should definitely have had a couple more scenes. Overall, ignore the film of the year ratings on here, there's a reason you barely heard of this and it was in theatres for just a couple of weeks, simply it wasn't very good.
