Loved it!

Rating: 10/10 (9 July 2005)

I recently saw this movie with my mom and a friend, and I must say it was well worth the time! I expected to see a Rocky type movie even though this one's a true story. What I got was even better.They couldn't have chosen a better actor play Mr. Braddock, (even though Russell Crowe probably needs some anger management classes now), but I won't go into that. The script was well written, and it actually had a good plot (unlike WOTW). The characters showed their emotions well.Rene Zellwegger does an excellent job as Mrs. Braddock, and I like it how she supports her husband, but at the same time is against it. The soundtrack was decent and I think added on to the emotion of the film. The part where he teaches the little girl (forgot her name) how to punch is cute.
Although I've seen other Ron Howard films and I didn't care too much for them, I can truly say this one was entertaining.
