great movie

Thank you for an inspiring story about hope and perserverance in a tough time. James' story and the way the family pulled together to beat the odds has many lessons in today's world. It's good to see Hollywood focus a story on such an honorable man. Thank you.

Thank you for sharing this wonderful story. My husband and I were so moved. This truly beats any Rocky movie out there! God bless you all.

What a heritage you have. So enjoyed learning about your grandfather through the movie "Cinderella Man". What a man of integrity and such a good father and husband. Enjoyed your website. Thank you!

Great inspiration to keep fighting, keep going in life... for your family if nothing else. Pain and hardship can make you stronger! God bless America!

My wife and i just saw the movie and would like to say he was a great man and a wonderful husband and father. Thumbs up to a great movie and best wishes to the families of the Cinderella Man.

I know I will be shadow boxing for th enext 3 days, and I know iwll never complain about not having only 2 servings of anything again. Your fathers story was amazing and thanks for helping to tell a tale of what true hardship is,the years of the Great Depression, and what it really means to survive . My wife and I are mezmorized.

My wife and I saw this movie today. It was much more than we expected! Both of us were raised during this time period and it brought back some memories that we will long remember. It was a tough time and Jim Braddock's story will now be part of the rich history of our country and gives everyone who watches this great movie a glimpse of how tough it was to raise a family during this depression. It was a super movie and I'll watch it several more times. Ron Howard and Russell
Crowe did this true story proud.

I really enjoyed the movie and reading about James Braddock.

My wife, Rica and I just watched "Cinderella Man" today. We thoroughly enjoyed it. What a great movie and an even greater and amazing true story! I'm so proud to share the name of such a courageous warrior and genuine American hero!!!

James J Braddock is a true American hero.
This is coming from a US Marine and someone who has boxed since I was six, I know something of heroes. God bless you and your family and thank you for the inspiration.

I just came from seeing the movie , could n't wait to find more about your grand father and I found this beautiful site. Thank you guys for sharing it with us. Thank you Mr Howard and Mr Crowe for making such a great movie. You are the best. Many of us never heard of Jame Braddock until today and from today he will be in our hearts a a real hero, an example to follow. You should write more about your grandfather, he is such an inspiration that knowing him more woult be just wonderful.

What an inspiring depiction of a man. The movie beats Rocky and every other fight pic ever made to the top of the pile of excellence. It has inspired me to be more than ever. Thanks for sharing this man with the world.

The movie was one of the best I have seen to date. If possible, please tell us how old his children are and their birthdates. It was wonderful that his granddaughter played "Sara Wilson" in the movie. Five stars.

Impressive personality.

You should be very proud of your grandfather. Thank you for sharing the story of a principled and remarkable man which is so rare in this era. It is so inspiring, uplifting and so uncharacteristic of today's movies.
Thank you to Rusell Crowe and Ron Howard for making quality films. If this movie does not get the best picture, best director and best actor awards, the film industry's judges should be replaced.

A champ in and out of boxing!

What the world is missing today.

A man I would want to meet and have my children meet.

A true hero.

Well can we say academy award winning film best actor, best actress best director best everything.

Anything I say will not do this film nor this story justice.

Thank you Mr. Braddock

Like so many responses you have received, my family & I also saw the movie Cinderella Man. Your grandfather was an exceptional man with a true sense of character and values. A wonderful man for us to try to emulate. In a generation of materalistic people, I hope this movie helps to show world what matters most in life. Thank you for allowing Ron Howard and his cast & crew to make this movie...I will remember your grandfather & his story always.

Saw movie last night & wanted to know more about the "Cinderella Man". I enjoyed the movie very much & think your website is great!

James J. Braddock was a good boxer but a great man. Thank you for sharing his story.

What an amazing story! Dear Family Of the former Boxing Great: Thank you for this site. James Braddock's courage is inspiring to us all!

My wife and I saw the movie last night. Great movie, better story. I'm always amazed at how many stories there are out there. How can you not like and cheer for a man like Braddock. What a class act, what a winner. Sometimes the true heros get lost for awhile but eventually they rise to the top again. I'm glad te movie was made, it taught me something about history I did not know. Thank you.

What a wonderul movie about a wonderful man! I am so glad I did not research Mr. Braddock's life before seeing the film! I was cheering in the theater!

Thank you to the Braddock family for sharing with us and thank you to Ron Howard for bringing such an inspirational story to the silver screen.

He kept hope alive for all those who suffered hardship through the depression. Our country needs more heroes like him to emulate during these trying times. Ron Howard has made such a wonderful film about a wonderful man during a sad time in our country's history.
