I have got to say, I've never been one to be into boxing, but this movie really put this sport into perspective for me! I actually bought this movie for my husband's birthday, but ended up enjoying it just as much as he did! We both truly enjoyed it!

James Braddock was an upstanding and humble citizen and I'm glad I got the chance to experience his story!

Keep up the Good Work, Ronny Howard!

What a great movie. I never heard of James Braddock prior to the movie, but was surely touched by his love for his family. What a great man he was and I hope his legacy continues on.

I had an original xray photo of one of James Braddock's broken hand from his Dr. signed and sold it. What a mistake! I had the opportuntnity to watch his movie and was inspired from it. James was a great man! Anyone who steps into the ring of life and comes out a winner, is a Champ from God.

I found this man & his family very interesting. I am proud to have seen and learned about his life. He was a very courageous and upstanding individual.

Compelled to read more about Mr. Braddock, I was delighted to learn that he was inducted into the Hall of Fame. His integrity, commitment to his family, and perseverance against great odds serve as a role model for all of us. What a great legacy!

What an inspirational man.

Just watched the movie and it is very inspirational. I grew up in North Bergen, NJ and I remember when they changed the name of Hudson County Park to James J. Braddock Park..we had no idea that he was such a great man and fighter and family man. Great website.

Jim Braddock was a good Boxer and a good man. Mike Tyson should learn from him.

I finished watching this wonderful film a few minutes ago and just had to jump on the web to find out more about this most amazing man. What a great sportsman he was, but most importantly a loving and gentle family man, who knew what was important in life. His story is such an inspiration to us all in this troubled world. Thank you to all the makers of the film for letting us all getting to know him, and most importantly to Mr Braddock's family for letting them do so. He was a true hero and his story will never be forgotten. I hope he knows somewhere how much is he admired and loved.

It would have been an honour to have met you James J Braddock.Your believe and commitment to your family is sadly lacking in todays society

I was deeply moved by the film about James J Braddock. I have not been so interested in another boxer's life apart from the wonderful Mohammed Ali. I had to check out this website to verify that the screen play was not fictional. You know that quite a lot of Hollywood films are very economical with the truth. I was so pleased to learn that James Braddock was the humanist that was portrayed so beautifully in the film. In the current climate of sports stars who are so narcissistic -it is really refreshing to read about someone who cared so passionately about his family, friends and those around him.

I had never heard of James J Braddock, untill I watched the movie Cinderella Man. I think the man showed what the meaning of heart is, in sport. Boxing is better for having him, don the gloves.
Andrew Bowman - Oxenford, Queensland Australia [2006-01-25 23:58:09]
Excellent entertainment! James J. Braddock was a man of great character! He is a fine example of what a true man is when it's necessary to take care of his family, and do the right thing no matter how difficult. We can all learn a lesson from him. May God bless his soul and keep his family in His Grace forever.
You were a great champion, James! You won't be forgotten.
Michael Williams - Manhattan Beach, Ca United States [2006-01-25 23:56:31]
I am not even a boxing fan, but I will tell you that the movie made for the memory of Jim Braddock "Cinderella Man" has made me a great fan of his. Not so much for the fight in the ring, but for the Love of his Family. May God always Bless and keep the Family of JJ Braddock and thank you for the inspiration!
