Chuck Ratings & Reviews
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
The film tells an achingly true story about chasing dreams and letting them slip through your hands, as well as the gravitational forces that cause one's life to seek its own level.
San Diego Reader
Scott Marks
The downfall isn't as satisfying as the setup, and a sudden burst of energy associated with the introduction of cocaine actually acts to slow things down, but it's worth seeing for the performances.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
Chuck is almost impossible to dislike.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
Liev Schreiber is outstanding as the hulking, rough-edged, amiable and charismatic Wepner.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
His fall and redemption are a little too familiar to carry the movie, but there's an odd hall-of-mirrors quality to all this: prone to quoting Requiem for a Heavyweight, Wepner is transmogrified into the movies himself.
Boston Globe
Tom Russo
Wepner's descent through a had-it-coming divorce, drugs, and prison isn't so much harrowing as just dispiriting.
Washington Post
Pat Padua
Arguably, the story of a habitual loser should resonate as much as - if not more than - that of a winner. But the film keeps us at arm's length emotionally, filtering its antihero's troubles through a layer of 1970s nostalgia.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
Schreiber is outstanding as the title character, a big lug who can't stay out of his own way.
Observer
Rex Reed
It's a routine story, worth seeing for the galvanizing (pulverizing?) star performance by a smashing Liev Schreiber in the title role.
Seattle Times
Soren Andersen
Thanks to its two central performances, "Chuck" is a solid contender.
San Francisco Chronicle
Peter Hartlaub
Schreiber continues to sell each moment ... through the entire movie. The Chuck Wepner story is a compelling one - and the performances ensure its place as a sports movie contender.
The New Yorker
Anthony Lane
In truth, this isn't a boxing movie at all. It's a movie about the kinds of existence in which boxing, or the swagger of boxing movies, can feel like a big deal.
AV Club
A.A. Dowd
Chuck doesn't stray far from from the underdog, just-a-lug-from-the-streets redemption arc that Rocky itself helped eternally popularize.
RogerEbert.com
Sheila O'Malley
Chuck does nothing new, and it moves through boxing tropes like it's ticking off checkmarks, but there's an honesty to it, a fresh and messy one.
Flavorwire
Jason Bailey
Schreiber [is] flat out excellent at not only conveying Wepner's neighborhood-guy charm, but at delivering his wry narration, which borders on Kiss Kiss Bang Bang levels of self-awareness.
NPR
Chris Klimek
Falardeau does a competent job of charting Wepner's dissolution and recovery, but he doesn't mine the story for its many cruel ironies.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
"Chuck" is, in certain ways, not unlike its flawed hero: a lot of personality, just enough ambition, more interested in a good time and simple insight than a lasting impression.
Entertainment Weekly
Joe McGovern
Schreiber's casting is fitting. He's one of the most underappreciated actors (rewatch Spotlight for an example of how damn great he can be with the tiniest gestures) playing a guy who never got enough respect.
New York Times
Glenn Kenny
This is a pretty good boxing picture, with credible redemption notes, but one character could be summing up the whole enterprise when she says to Chuck: "There's more to you than meets the eye. Not much. But just enough."
Slant Magazine
Chuck Bowen
Like its protagonist, Philippe Falardeau's film gets lost in a haze of incidental cacophony.
