| Columbus AliveBrad KeefeIt's nothing groundbreaking as a sports doc, but Pacquiao's warm personality and amazing story make it a pretty great one. |
| Epoch TimesMark JacksonPacquiao's the only boxer in history to win championships across eight weight classes. His story follows the classic Hero's Journey stages precisely, blow-by-blow, as it were. |
| Common Sense MediaS. Jhoanna RobledoBoxing docu glorifies Pacquiao but skims the surface. |
| Slant MagazineClayton DillardAn informative, if largely deferent, biographical documentary that tritely explains the ascendancy of Filipino boxer Manny Pacquiao. |
| CinemalogueTodd JorgensonA potential knockout documentary pulls most of its punches. |
| Village VoiceNick SchagerThroughout, the complexities of the charismatic fighter's life are only cursorily referenced so that the celebratory tone may not be marred, with Manny ultimately content to treat its subject with kid gloves. |
| Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleAs a sizzle reel, Manny feeds off the hype but leaves this man with fascinatingly renaissance tastes and ambitions still naggingly unexplored by the end. |
| User ReviewMary Ann EGreat man. great movie... humble..... now kick some Mayweather butt.. lol |
| User ReviewVincent AHe fights not just for the money but for the pride of his nation. For the pinoy living on the street with nothing but who is proud to say that he is a Filipino and that a Filipino is the best boxer of his generation |
| User ReviewKmw WDoesn't portray the Real Pacquiao real fans know. This movie doesn't do justice to the greatest boxer of our era, the man or the boxer. But worth seeing to get a glimpse of a great human being. |
