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 (Renée 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 Hit, I have watched it 3 times February 7, 2010
Connie D. Hill (Wilmington, North Carolina)
The absolute BEST movie ever. With our economy the way it is made me real blessed and thankful to appreciate what we DO have. Wonderful determination and love story.

Great movie, great story December 28, 2009
R. Lichenstein (Ellicott City, MD United States)
Well crafted film of Jimmy Braddock set in the depression era. Fine acting by Russell Crowe and excellent fight scenes - not quite Raging Bull but the story definitely leaves a lasting impression. Blu Ray makes all the images and sounds crystal clear.
RUSSELL CROWE & PAUL GIAMATTI ! = GREAT DVD ! December 9, 2009

I didn't always lose, I won't always lose again, I can still fight... November 7, 2009
Alex Dixon (Arlington, TX USA)
Fantastic movie, one of Russell Crowe's absolute best performances. The Blu-ray version really makes the picture stand out. I can watch this movie over and over again. It's a human story more than a boxing story and my wife loves it as well.
Excellent Crowe movie November 6, 2009
