"American Dream" ?

Rating: 3/10 (4 December 2005)

I am not going to analyze every aspect or write the content scene to scene. I want to make clear why I can't recommend this film to anyone.
By hearing what shall "cinderella man" be about I expected very naturalistic and pessimistic depiction of this age. I imagined sweatshop workers in the 20's and late 30's, inhumane conditions, children dying ...
Actually, in certain moments it seemed to be some sort of slapstick comedy. F.e. the scene where children were playing on clean streets of slums, they were supposed to be living in. I also noticed that they never had bad weather in there :) Btw I hope not to see Rene Zellweger in coming 2 years - so I can recover from her playing in this film.
I must mention the end of this film. After I was being prepared infinitely long time for Johny (the main character) to die and had to survive unending scenes of fighting it all ended "happily". I couldn't help the sarcasm.
