For anyone in need of a good love story without too much cliché'

Rating: 10/10 (20 July 2012)

Cinderella Man always lifts me up, not only for the impressive underdog display.
The marriage triumph on the side of the boxing struggles is not underplayed. Russell Crowe is beautiful as usual, and his scenes with his wife, played by Miss Zellweger, are what keep me watching this movie over and over. Ron Howard creates a story that casts light on the struggles presented to families during the great depression without the expected scene of the family's love conquering all. Rather, scenes throughout the movie weave together a lovable family with a reasonable amount of problems. Unusually, the love involved isn't filled with too much physical demonstrations and I believe, because of this,the Braddock's love story is one of the best in the movies I've seen from this decade.
While, I will not admit to being a true romantic, this love story is one that definitely makes me hopeful that my husband will follow in Braddock's footsteps.
