Cinderella Man - starring Russell Crowe and Renee Zellweger - director Ron Howard

Cinderalla Man

Cinderella Man is one of your typical Hollywood big budget films. Top-notch money makers Russell Crowe and Renee Zellweger star in this film based off a true story about a washed up boxer's triumphant come back. Both do an adequate job with their parts, but nothing special. It's rare that I think Russell Crowe is adequate, so that gives you an idea of I how I felt about his part. One of the biggest disappointments of this film is the lack of any great supporting actors. Paul Giamatti is getting a lot of attention for his role of Joe Gould, Jim Braddock's boxing manager. I wasn't impressed. The story line is predictable with its sugar-coated sentiment through out the picture. All in all, the movie is worth watching, but nothing to get excited about. ~ Tracy 12/08/05
