i have watch grand champion all the way through at least twice now . i enjoy the movie story and the character and the actor be not bad . it be refresh to see a g rat movie . this be a feel good movie . the story be mostly from the view of the child . the interaction between the kid and the adult make the story interesting . i recommend this movie if you be look for a family film . if you like the little rascal and you will probably enjoy this . i view this movie on cable . either on encore or showtime family . this be not a movie that i would have go to see at the theatre . but and i only go to the theatre for the effect of the big screen and so most comedy and romantic film and or dramas i do not go for big screen i wait for tv or cable edition . get your kid together and pop some popcorn and enjoy .
