Review of: The Champ (1979). Best "Failed Oscar-Bait" Film Ever?

The weepy, overly sentimental remake of a classic may be very heavy-handed, but one cannot deny the talents behind it all.

The film is set in Florida, not New England. Jon Voight and Ricky Schroder have New York accents (Voight is from Yonkers, Schroder is from Staten Island), not New England accents.

Okay so i made a mistake in the setting. But as a Canadian, I am unfamiliar with the differences in the New York, New England, whatever accents.

They don't make movies like that anymore. When movies had a story. It's all drivel now
