Loved it!

Rating: 8/10 (28 December 2005)

I rented this film for my husband. I have to say it is hard to get him to watch a movie. But he actually sat and watched the whole thing. Also, you do not need to actually be a boxing fan to enjoy the wonderful plot of love, loyalty and pride in this movie. Both of us having kids just sat and felt the pain of these parents trying to raise their children during the great depression era. I have to say it made me truly feel blessed to not have to go thru the trials that they faced back then. The movie was a great in the way that they showed the whole town rallying for him. The concern that his loved ones had for him and the last match on the edge of your seat whether or not he wins or loses. It was an inspiring story and I would recommend it to anyone, boxing fan or not.
