The Family Corner

Resurrecting the Champ is rated PG-13 for some violence and brief language. There's a moderate amount of crude language, including several uses of the Lord's name in vain and one use of the f-word. There are no sexual situations; though several women suggest an illicit rendezvous with the married Erik, he rebuffs their advances. The most troublesome aspect of the film for parents of teens is the boxing violence, though frankly it is nowhere near as brutal as say, Cinderella Man. Resurrecting the Champ is a phenomenal opportunity to use a film to begin a dialogue with your older children about our inability to hide even our most "trivial" sins.
