Movie Reviews of Body and Soul
Movie Review: Campy, but I love it
Summary: 4 Stars
THis is one of my guilty pleasures. Its not that its a bad movie but it is so cliche' but who cares? Because this movie is just what it should be, a feel good story where the hero wins and the bad guys get whats coming to them. Too Sweet goes legit and becomes Leon the Lover. This is one of those movies that can play in the background when your cleaning up. It is what it is but its so good at doing what it do.
Summary of Body and Soul
Based on the 1947 classic of the same name, this "entertaining" (The New York Times) rags-to-riches tale about a vivacious young fighter from Chicago pulls no punches in its portrayal of boxings dark side. Featuring the always-animated Muhammad Ali as himself, Body and Soul is "a rousing good time" (LA Herald-Examiner)! Golden Gloves champ Leon (Leon Isaac Kennedy) has no interest in becoming a pro boxer; instead, he wants to be a doctor. But when his little sister requires immediate and expensive medical treatments, he decides to go for the title and all the money it will bring. On his way to the top, however, Leon succumbs to the temptations that come with success: money, flesh, ego. As a result, he begins to lose everyone and everything he used to care about. Can Leon pull his life back together, or is he too far gone to be redeemed?Action & Adventure DVD Video
