Delawanna, Clifton boy here. Great guy, great story. One of New Jersey's finest. Rest in Peace.

WOW WHAT AN UNBELIVEABLE RIDE!!!!!, EMOTIONALLY. ASIDE FROM A TRULY OUTSTANDING INDIVIDUAL YOUR FATHER WAS, HE HAS MOTIVATED ME TO GO FORWARD WITH AN ONGOING DILEMA AND LET THE PIECES FALL WHERE THEY MAY. THE 1ST THING I DID AFTER THE MOVIE WAS TO HUG MY CHILDREN

I think the life of james j braddock has inspired me to never give up at what ever punch life throws at me and my family........Thank you for letting them make a wonderful movie.

glad to see his Irish parents instilled there values in him.great person and an inspiration to all

I thought the movie was great and that it was a really inspiring story. Russel Crowe did a great job and so did everyone else. Jim Braddock was a great guy.

I just saw the movie and was really impressed by Braddock's determination and courage in spite of all the adversities he was facing. I think the values and love that came through are a great message for everyone today, especially those who give up as soon as the going gets rough. I'm going to use it in my English class.

I just watch Cinderella Man, James J Braddock is a Great Man, Father and Husband! What an inspiration!

it's the most beatiful story!!! Mr BRADDOCK is a good man!!!

Saw the movie it was terrible, they made Max Baer a villian. Baer was a comedian and a very very likeable person. Do your homework about Mr. Baer Mr. Howard. I read Max Baer Jr. comments about the film and I agree you did a very bad misjustice to Max Baer, in fact you destroyed the movie.
Never lie about a person it will catch you in the end.

Just read the previous posting from Mr. Aldrich. I agree with him Max Baer was the better fighter who did not want to hurt Braddock as he had a movie career. How come they do not want to make a Movie of the life of Max Baer. Baer brought color in the fight pict. The movie made Baer a evil person, not so the man was very good as my uncle told stories about him as he knew him from California.

A

i bought the tape of Cinderella Man yesterday. After seeing it i was disgusted of the portrayal of Max Baer.
Max Baer was a good and funny person who never liked boxing. He was in a few movies he was a gentle person after he killed Campbell he suported Campbell's wife and children.
Mr. Baer before the Braddock fight did not train for the fight and had hurt his hands also. Im sure if you see the original film you could see he clowned away the championship.

What a change the story of one man and one movie can make. I can see the emotional and spiritual change that Mr. Braddock's heroic life stroy has had on my husband. It touched us both deeply and reinforced the idea that we are far to fortunate to be wasteful in times of plenty. Mr. & Mrs. Braddock both were exemplary in thier undying faith and beleif in one another. They were truely special indeed. Thank you to the entire Braddock family and everyone that brought this movie to us. Mr. Braddock is a champion' s champion.

My husband and I finally got to see this movie last weekend and we loved it!! What an amazing story. I went to to elementary school with Jim's granddaughter Rosemarie and was thrilled to see her in the movie. Thank you to the Braddock family for sharing your story!

values,humility and the ability to rise above all adversities. not like many of our modern day atheletes of today.what a shame that these showman of today could not take the example of what a real world class athelete was and is.

I hate that I waited to see this movie on DVD. It was what I miss most about movies that it was for everyone in my home. It was an inspiring story that reminded me not to give up and to stick to my values.

Although I was probably too young (born 1941) to have direct knowledge of James J. Braddock, I have know his since long before the movie Cinderella Man came out. His story is truly amazing and inspirational.

I just saw the movie, only because I'm a huge fan of Ron Howard's work. I was totally moved by this man. Not only because he was a great athlete, but because he was a wonderful husband, father, human being. I am a believer that anything is possible. I am grateful to his family for continuing this website. Thank you!

BRADDOCK'S BRAVE LIFE IS ONE OF THE MOST AMAZING AND INSPIRING HISTORIES I EVER HEARD. CONGRATULATIONS TO THE SITE TEAM.

i know... my post here is way delayed since the showing of the movie... but i just cant help but post a note here, thanking at least James Braddock's descendants for the wonderful lifestory he had shared not only to the Americans but to every being who had seen the movie. Braddock's life has truly moved me and warmed my heart

From what I've read about Jim Braddock and from the movie Cinderella Man I don't think you can miss the quality of the man. To many sports figures today are little more than hoodlums. There are many things to admire about Jim Braddock but at the top of my list is how he loved his family. During the Hoover years it was as tough a time on the family as there has ever been. We need more parents like Jim and Mae. We need parents that will not just walk away from each other or their kids because times are hard. I'm sure Jim and Mae’s children and grandchildren considered themselves lucky and proud of Jim and Mae.

What an extradordinary story!!!! This is what this country needs and storylines like this one! James Braddock fought the odds with heart and pure willpower to save his family....Putting family first will win every time!!! AAAAA++++++!

I grew up in North Bergen, N.J. where Jim Braddock's name loomed larger than life. Anyone who met Jimmy Braddock, always spoke highly of him. He was considered a gentleman and a true American legend.

LOVED THE MOVIE, TENSE,EXCITING AND MOST OF ALL SHOWED ONE MAN'S LOVE OF FAMILY, HOW ONE MAN'S DETERMINATON TO WIN AGAINST ALL ODDS NEVER GAVE UP ON HIS DREAM KEEP THE DREAM GOING

An awsome movie!!!!!!!! What makes it better is that it's a true story. Ron Howard's film does James Braddock justice.
