Rent the DVD if you must

Rating: 1/10 (15 June 2005)

As a boxing fan, I've been waiting for this movie for a long time. What a disappointment! Crowe is absolutely terrible. Zellweger isn't bad, but she couldn't save this comic book movie from the disaster it is. No doubt I'm not the only one with this opinion, as the movie has bombed at the box office.
The characters look like something out of a school play and the script is as sappy as it gets. Ron Howard definitely blew it on this one and maybe it's because it's a cheap foreign import. The bit players all speak with Canadian accents and the cinematography sucks.
Avoid this flop at all costs.
