Cinderella Man

Cinderella Man is a film biography of a real life character: James Braddock, heavyweight champion from 1935 to 1937. Braddock, played by Russell Crowe, is an admirable character who refuses to give up no matter what life throws him. Renee Zellweger is his wife, suitably supportive, worried sick, and spunky.

I suppose the film is a bit like Rocky, but based on a true story, and set in the Depression.

I was impressed
And not depressed.
