    • Trivia
      Debut theatrical feature film of cast members Alex English and Joshua Zuehlke. Alex English, the all-star forward for the Denver Nuggets and the National Basketball Association's leading scorer of the 1980's, made his acting debut as Amazing Grace Smith, a character much like himself-sensitive, introspective, highly principled - who decides his moral convictions are stronger than his desire to be a great player. Joshua Zuehlke, a seventh grade star Little League pitcher from Minnesota, made his acting debut as Chuck Murdock, a young man who abruptly leaves childhood behind when he courageously makes a very adult decision.

    Good Idea Wasted
    Interesting concept for a story that is never fully realized by the end of the film. The relationship between the pro basketball player and his young fan has a father-son feel to it that would be used again with more depth ten years later in Donnie Brasco(1997). Mike Newell gives an interesting message about the fight and sacrifices one takes for his/her cause. Wonderfull use of famous sports athletes and anouncers as themselves. Alex English does alright in the role of the fictional famous Pro basketball player, Amazing Grace. Amazing Grace & Chuck(1987) is a good family film but average as an experience in film viewing.
