A Great Film!

Rating: 10/10 (11 September 2005)

Ron Howard's "Cinderella Man" should rank among the best films for this year's awards. This movie, in addition to being entertaining and engrossing, is truly a work of art! Howard's directorial skills continue to improve with each and every effort. And, even though there are graphically-violent scenes in the boxing ring, this is a family film which can be appreciated by the young and old alike. My wife and I agree that "Cinderella Man" is among the best motion pictures we've seen over the past several years. Everything in the film... the camera work, and its unique angles... the sepia tone which emphasizes the period it represents; that of the national depression of the 1930s... the music... and the positive messages conveyed throughout the story... GREAT JOB, RON HOWARD!
