Double thumbs up --
Good acting, Good Action and the movie was just well done overall. One of those movies where your left with a good feeling at the end.
Woth a watch by all -- and its not really just a "guy" type of film either, more then enough of a story line to catagoize this as a date film..
Enjoy

I think its because if I was in the same situation I don't know if I could swallow my pride in being a bread winner and working man and do that, I would hope I could for the sake of my family but man, what a horribly humbling situation that would have been.

Kenji Wrote:Incontestably, "Cinderella Man" is one of the best movies in this year. Your mentioned scene made me cry.
Rocky, Champ, Raging Bull, Million dollar baby, and Cinderella man....I like boxing movies!
ShadowLord Wrote:It's very interesting how almost everyone has focused on that one "classic scene" -- Even I found it very powerfull and while watching the film explained to my son how hard it was for a man of honour to step down and make a request like that.
I also pointed out what an insult it was when the "big tycoons ...only coughed up spare change"
It was great when we went back to repay all of the money he was given from social assistance.
