Cinderella Man is a wholesome slice of old-fashioned Americana, offering welcomed relief from the shallowness of many summer blockbusters. In dramatizing the legendary Depression-era comeback of impoverished boxer Jim Braddock, director Ron Howard benefits from another superb collaboration with his A Beautiful Mind star Russell Crowe, whose portrayal of Braddock is simultaneously warm, noble, and tenacious without resorting to even the slightest hint of sentimental melodrama. The desperate struggle of the Depression is more keenly felt here than it was in Seabiscuit, and Howard shows its economic impact in ways that strengthen the bonds between Braddock, his supportive wife (Renee Zellweger) and three young children, and his loyal manager (Paul Giamatti); all are forced to make sacrifices leading up to Braddock's title bout against heavyweight champion Max Baer (Craig Bierko) in one of greatest boxing matches in the history of the sport. Boasting the finest production design, cinematography and editing that Hollywood can offer, this is a feel-good film that never begs for your affection; it's just good, classical American filmmaking, brimming with qualities of decency and fortitude that have grown all too rare in the big-studio mainstream. --Jeff Shannon

Cinderella Man - a wonderful movie! November 25, 2008
Rebecca Sasser (southern VA)
I have rented and borrowed this movie to watch many times since it came out on pay per view, and I love it... heartwarming, well-directed and well-acted.

Wonderful human story November 20, 2008
T. Porter (Atlanta, GA United States)
I hate boxing & almost didn't see this movie because of it, but I am so very glad I took the chance & watched it anyway. It turned out to be one of the best movies I have ever seen. Russell Crowe was at his best, but more than that was this very moving story set during the depression. It showed a man who loved his family & did whatever it took to take care of them - without whining or fanfare. It is a must see family movie - except for smaller children due to the intensity of the boxing violence.

A Must Have October 6, 2008
sherang (ft worth tx)
I just love this movie, and being a woman and this is about boxing you wouldn't think I would, but its a true story and it's a love story as well. I already had this movie since it first came out. I bought this copy for my mother. I watch this one over and over, it is beautifully done, but then it's a Ron Howard film so that explains it's perfection.

A magical "fairy tale" September 26, 2008
ReaderGirl
I must admit, I wasn't too happy when Dad came downstairs one night and made me turn this movie on instead of "Sense and Sensibility". I'd heard this was a good film, but I wasn't prepared for the story that I fell in love with. I hate to watch boxing, but this movie made it magical. Superb acting, great characters, funny lines, and good lessons made it a worthwhile watch. The only thing I didn't like was the language, which was plentiful, especially during the second half. Otherwise, I'll be watching "Cinderella Man" again.
