James J. Braddock - Guestbook
Welcome to the official guestbook of the James J Braddock website. Due to spam, we have been forced stop guestbook entries.
As a former New Yorker, I could put myself right in the middle of the city of NJ. I have watched Cinderella Man at least 20 times and I still cry throughout the movie. I have never seen a man and wife love one another more than Jim and Mae. I never saw parents love their children as much and Jim and Mae Braddock. With no money to eat and no utilities, they still loved. What a wonderful and heartfelt story. I have one question. Was Rosemarie DeWitt the same as the Rose on the Titanic? Maybe just a coincidence? God bless your family and I envy the close family you all had. Russell Crowe and Renee' Zellwigger did steller portrayals. I love "I'm being good, I'm being quiet, I'm being haved"! (smile)

This movie was the best I've seen in a long time. It was very touching. I believe God took care of James because he took care of his family and always did the right thing. Thanks so much and may God bless all his family.

Our entire family enjoyed the movie "Cinderella Man". Finding out that this was based on a true story made it even more exciting. He had to have tremendous courage to face large fights late in his career. He raised the spirits of his family and the nation during the Depression. Your
family must be so proud of your father, James Braddock.

I watched the movie on him and was amazed at a fighter who had so much heart.

I am a fighter as well, and am inspired by the heart and ambition that took Braddock to the top. This inspiration is going to help me reach my dreams.

I watched the movie. I thought it was a great movie. I got on the internet to find more about Mr. Braddock and his wife and kids. When I watched the movie it was my first time ever hearing of him. I watched it in my history class. The Cinderella Man is the best movie I have ever seen.

The Cinderella Man! What a movie. Though I had never heard of James J. Braddock I got online first thing this morning and did a search. It was so heartwarming to hear the complete story of his family. I feel that they had a very happy life despite the Great Depression and James' losses. His comback was extrordinary! Wonderful man and movie. Best wishes to all his children and grandchildren~you have much to be proud of.

Watched the movie for the first time today. If James J. Braddock was half the man he was depicted to be then what an amazing person. His family must be so very proud. If only we had people in our world of the same calibre. What a true hero.

watched cinderella man today and thoroughly enjoyed the movie. Big Russ was wonderful as James J Braddock. Like so many others, we found Jimmy to be wonderfully inspiring, his love for his beautiful wife, Mae and children is something we should all aspire to, even though we live in these materialistic times. love for ones family is an eternal value. Great website, well done.

Steve Distant - Gold Coast, Queensland Australia [2006-03-04 22:21:31]
My wife rented this movie and I watched it! I can honestly say that I had some tears throughout the movie, especially the end. Putting it all on the line and doing it because you really had not choice regardless, either get busy living or get busy dying. I gave me some strong inspiration and hope. Great job and many thanks to the Braddock family. All my best.

Hi i just saw the amazing film The Cinderella Man and i was stunned by the performence actor R Crowe did. How was it in the real life for James Bradock at these times of depression? What a fantastic man he was and a provider to his family. I have become a big fan of him. Best regards to his family and friends! The Noble Art of Selfdefense...
