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.

Example: the fight to remain true to your identity, the desire to find love after being burned and abandoned, the struggle to believe love is possible (and whats it gonna cost and can I afford her), the struggle to define your identity vs. your fathers dreams...I know it's a "guy movie" by all the adrenaline rush of the fight scenes; any guy will love this, and as for the ladies, they'll admire how the leading lady's criteria for love goes beyond the usual commercial movies' stereotypical EASY LOUISY. The competitive, complicated relationship of the brothers, their beautiful reunion, and the human struggle to find happiness after the world lands you in the humbling role of "has-been" are two other topics movie brings up, great 2 define what'
