This week, Trevor conducts a solo review of George Tillman Jr.'s, Big George Foreman: The Miraculous Story of the Once and Future Heavyweight Champion of the World (2023)!
Starring Khris Davis as boxing legend, George Foreman, Big George Foreman: The Miraculous Story of the Once and Future Heavyweight Champion of the World (2023) is a biopic from Christian film production house, Affirm Films.
A faith oriented sports drama, Big George Foreman is too sanitized to be juicy with its melodrama, however the production is largely competent throughout, and aside from a couple of lackluster impersonations, (the guy they got to play Jim Lampley fails to deliver “It happened!” with the appropriate gusto) the performances are quite solid.
Benefiting massively from being based on a legitimately fascinating and incredible true story, Big George Foreman is a serviceable, albeit expectedly preachy sports drama that to be made eventually, but definitely could've been done better.
