The Cinderella man-

Rating: 8/10 (27 September 2005)

Me and my fiancé were looking for something to do on a bored Friday night, so we decided to go to the movies.We chose "the Cinderella man" to be honest it wasn't "we" but more me. I have to admit i am a great fan of boxing movies, they tent to be very inspirational as for example rocky I & II. My fiancé was disappointed by the the-ma covers by the movie but when she left she wasn't as disappointed as when she got the tickets. The movie start of slow covering various aspects of the American depression. This helps create a very emotional atmosphere, it shows James J Braddock an ex-boxer struggles to keep his 3 children family alive. James manages to survive and get back in boxing business, the fights are very well interpreted, many scenes are done with a hand cam. Its so realistic that it actually makes you think your watching the fight live. After twists and turns James manages to prevail against the hunger and starvation. And with scenes that will leave you breathless and there are times when you end up that you end up at the edge of your seat.Overall the movies is very sentimental and is the best bet to take your girlfriend. So go out there and see it !!
