the character makes for some fine film watching.....If you're looking for the angry Russell Crowe, he won't be found here.....It helps that Cinderella Man captivates from beginning to end.....The video could have been slightly better, but don't let that deter you from adding this great film to your Blu-ray collection.....Whether it was the tabloids or the talent, the film received few nominations..... ...

An uplifting story, with some great boxing action, that is undone by director Ron Howard's corniness.....Even though it takes place during the 30s when America was really in the crapper, Howard make a sharp and beautiful looking film..... ... Full Review

Now, particularly given the positive Venice reception, Crowe is confident the film will do better overseas.
It's been the same experience I had with Ron on Cinderella Man, starting from this deeply resonant point of friendship where we don't tiptoe around each other.

Paul Giamatti is truly marvellous as Braddock's loud-mouth manager Joe ('they should put your mouth in a circus'), who throws nearly as many punches in the air as his charge does in the ring.
All the elements are spot on - an intelligent script, beautiful cinematography, exquisite production design and an unintrusive, yet powerful score.
