Chris H Great film. Ron Howard working his magic. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/14/24 Full Review Cody W After learning about the history of legendary boxer James Braddock, I thought I would give CINDERELLA MAN a try, and boy did it really deliver. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/13/24 Full Review alan g Mostly fabricated and untrue. For once Ron Howard completely misses the mark. Possibly defames some of the background characters by changing historical facts. If you want an underdog story watch Rocky. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/30/24 Full Review Richard H You know it’s crazy sometimes when you come up on a movie and all of a sudden you get glued right into the action automatically this story just caught my eye one night. I was watching it In the background as I gradually got drawn and deeper and deeper Into it as it ran. It’s an amazing movie that I can grab your attention and enjoy in this movie had done just that. You won’t be disappointed. Well done on the acting all around. Great story. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/03/24 Full Review Karl H I picked up the BluRay at a thrift store for $3. Was it worth it? Well, the movie is fine. It's a straightforward story of a family with a father who boxes. It takes place during The Depression. I liked how you saw things happen to other families and then to this one, each family dealing with it in their own way. Since I did not know the outcome of the true story, the final scenes did feel suspenseful. Unfortunately, I kept comparing this to Rocky in my head, so that took away a little of the experience. The acting is fine, but I would say there was nothing exceptional. As for the BluRay, it is loaded with features. I do have a gripe, however. Sometimes features are just longer documentaries cut up to make attention-span-length extras. This leads to the same scenes appearing in several of the features. That makes me feel like I've seen something before and should turn it off. All in all, I think this is a good watch. I wouldn't fight seeing it again, but I wouldn't go out of my way to make it happen. Buying the disc was not worth it. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/21/24 Full Review Alan G I really enjoyed the fight scenes and the depression stuff. Crowe came across as an idiot occasionally - maybe that was just bad acting. Zellwegger's part lacked depth. The coach was the most compelling actor and deserved his nominations. Only 3 stars since I objected to the characterisation of Baer as being some kind of killing machine. He was nothing of the sort and was greatly affected by the death of an opponent. That kind of liberty with the facts makes me puke. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/24 Full Review Read all reviews
