Is Cinderella Man a good movie?

my ex girls called me under dog, and my hot college girl was a chinese beauty, chinese guys hated me, because I had a good one... but like all good women had, she dumped me for cheating on her regularly..

calling me under dog was not a compliment..



whenever Under Dog tried to save the day and step up and be heroic, he would fvcxxk chit up bad... it was better if he never tried to help.. i think it is called being vainglorious.. or something like that..

Yeah, I remember the underdog Bobby tried to stand up for Connie against Chane Wassanasong, and then Chane kicked his ass and made him eat dirt.

That's what happens in real life, no Karate Kid fairy tale endings.

Not for me... my wife loves that episode, that's my purse, i don't know you... funny, crazy funny..

i bet PrettyButtplug wears a ninja turtle outfit to sleep, and a cape...

Slobberts, wears a whig, and make up, trying to look like julia robberts, but looking more like bill, or that homeless guy with the nice shopping carts, that could turn good..

We got some real characters on this site. and it is so funny to read how much they love hate me...

Yea, it's a pretty solid movie. Not many on this forum can resonate with struggling in life, but for those who can it's pretty solid.

It was ok, worth a watch. But Max Baer was misrepresented a bit. The guys he killed in the ring really haunted him and that wasn’t how they portrayed him. Otherwise not a bad watch.

No argument about Baer being misrepresented as the real bad guy....however...the actor who played Baer must have watched a lot of film on Baer because he definitely boxing in Max's style very accurately.

its a pretty good movie, the story of braddock and his family was good and fairly historically accurate. i really hated the way they "dramatized" max baer, he was nothing like the guy in the film although he looked a lot like him in the ring. the real max baer was a fun loving guy, when he became champ he started ****ing hollywood actresses and didn't spend as much time training as he needed, this is probably part of the real reason braddock beat him.

Yeah, it's a pretty good movie.

The title is kinda gay though. I know Cinderella is supposed to mean an underdog who triumphs over hardship, but never liked using some fairy ass term to describe a man.

But that was really the nickname of Braddock...one of them anyways (Bulldog of Bergen/Pride of the Irish/Pride of New Jersey/Cinderella Man).

Yup, it's a great movie.

Good movie. I'd say that anyone who is a boxing fan should check it out, and is likely to enjoy it.

Like some others have said, the portrayal of Baer is a little unfair. That makes me think that a movie based on him would be really good.

The upcoming “Cinderella Man” chronicles the fall and rise of Depression-era heavyweight champion James Braddock, but the movie is as likely to revive the memory of another title holder, “***ish” boxer Max Baer.

In the climactic scene, the movie depicts the 15-round fight in 1935 between Braddock (Russell Crowe), the victorious underdog, and a menacing, beady-eyed Baer (Craig Bierko).

Baer’s greatest fight was in June 1933, when he faced the heavily favored German, Max Schmeling. Hitler had come to power a few months earlier and the ****s were busy smearing Stars of David on ***ish-owned stores.

When Baer strutted into the Yankee Stadium ring, his trunks sported a prominent Star of David, and he then proceeded to demolish Schmeling, knocking him out in the 10th.

This pugilistic victory, coming in the depth of the Depression and amid rising anti-Semitism in Europe and the United States, lifted the spirits of ***s throughout the world, regardless of Baer’s actual ***ishness. His father was ***ish, but the boxer was raised in a non-***ish household — more on that later.

In the Ron Howard-directed film, with a screenplay by Cliff Hollingsworth and Akiva Goldsman, Baer is portrayed as the designated bad guy to deepen the contrast to the gutsy, family-loving, Irish-American Braddock.

Although the boxing scenes are realistically staged, the movie essentially tells the story of a man overcoming defeat and poverty through his own courage and the devotion of a loving wife.

Except for ardent fans of the sweet science, the most wrenching scenes are of Depression-ridden America, with men clawing for a few hours of work and cops demolishing the shantytown in New York’s Central Park.




Anytime solid *** boys start doing good, we think we did it alone, and act like our chit don't stink, and we do not pray anymore, etc.. Pride, then the Fall..

For me, the most moving part was when his *** manager was acting like he had it going on, but sold all his belongings

But Baer trained hard for the Schmeling match. After watching that fight, the legendary Jack Dempsey observed that Baer was so good that night he could have beaten anybody in the world.Whatever could be said against Baer, he was never petty or mean-spirited, contrary to the movie depiction, said his son.

“My father hardly ever bore a grudge, and after he and another fighter would beat each other to a pulp, my father would go to the other guy’s dressing room and invite him to a party,” he said. “After he lost the world championship to Braddock, my father said he was glad that the title went to a guy who had to support a large family.”
