A mediocre -- but not bad -- family drama... I just adored every moment of it.

Film Threat

if you are looking for a new kind of kick with a galloping pace, know that the minutes run away like wild horses when your ride with this film. [Brad] Keller and his crew in Dallas, where this was shot, have made a unique family picture.

Rated: 8/10

Epoch Times

Heart of a Champion's content is very family friendly, but parents will need to sacrifice their own entertainment quality and let this one just be for the kids.

Rated: 1/5

Common Sense Media

The film only scratches the surface on the characters, and while there's opportunity in certain situations to have empathy for what the characters are going through, the problems resolve almost too quickly.

Rated: 3/5

A great movie to watch with the family, no doubt! Loved the performances by Casper and YaYa. Lisa Chapman has such an ability with her screenwriting to appeal to all of your emotions and draw you in to the characters!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
