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.

Thank you for much need and great movie. I want my students to see this inspirational movie so they can start to understand what a BIG athlete---man or woman---really is. I loved the movie.

I just got home from seeing this wonderful movie. I grew up listening to stories about boxers, and when TV came into being, watching boxing with my dad. He just passed away last month. How I wish I could have taken him to see this movie, he would have loved it! Mr. Braddock was a wonderful father, and the type of person that younger people these days need to see in sports. I plan on taking my grandsons to see this movie asap.

I think James J. Braddock represents the foundation this country was built on. What a great person!

I too just got back from the movie. What an incredible story of courage and character! You have done this man an honor with this website. Thankyou for sharing this wonderful story of character and true grit.

Cheers and God Bless

Just got back from the movie. It was inspiring. What a great story. Those were very hard times, but it must have been wonderful to have experienced them first hand.

Greatest movie I have ever seen, and I'vs seen alot of them. Great man, far far better example to others than spoiled athletes of today.
Great man, Jim Braddock.

I just got back from the movie as well. I did a little research before I left for the film but really didn't what to expect. It was one of the most touching stories of courage, pride and what it means to be a hero. I loevd the movie and I have a great deal of respect for what he went through. He is an inspiration to all.

Saw the movie today.Wonderful tribute to a courageous man.I appreciate Ron Howard telling Jim Braddock's story.The message is timeless.

just got back from the movie....and I must admit that I didn't know who Jim Braddock was before seeing Cinderella Man. Jim's story was deeply moving...and I admit we both held back tears (and I don't cry ) . Todays world holds so much uncertainty....we need heros...men like Jim Braddock. His story is one I'll never forget.

Great Movie about a great man . I'm sure it will isspire a lot of people

Just saw the movie....what an amazing and inspiring tory. Your dad (and mom) was an amazing human being and a true hero--something you should be very proud of!

The movie was awesome and inspiring. It brought out every emotion humanly possible. It made us realize how truly lucky we really are and reminded us that we should never forget our less fortunate souls.

I absolutely loved this movie! The life of James J Braddock was truely inspirational. What a man, what a father, what a fighter!

We laughed,cried and were inspired by the movie and the man. We need more men like Jim Braddock today.

saw the movie today. The audience cheered and so did myself and my husband. We are both huge boxing fans

After a weekend that was ruined by money and greed, I saw this movie and it made me realize that, theres alot more important things in this world than money, because pride is something you cant out a price on.

Wow, Great Movie! After watching the film this afternoon, I had to find out more about James J. Braddock and found your wonderful site. Thanks for sharing a part of your family history and more about your Grandfather. We all needs tales of inspiration and this one was wonderfuly told.

It is a wonderful movie - my father and mother and families lived through the great depression and it brought back the memories of the stories I heard. Everyone in the movie theater was spellbound the whole way through; applause for Jimmie afterwards, as well as for Mae and the courage they displayed. Also, applause for Ron Howard and Russel and Rene and all the others who presented such a beautiful tribute. We need more movies of this quality. Thank you.

Thank you for the web site maintenance. After seeing the movie, last night, I wanted to read more about James Braddock. I was amazed, when seeing the movie, that after the show, the audience applauded. This is out of the norm here in the USA. Thank you agian.

I saw the movie today and was deeply touched. My father was an amatuer boxer in New York in the 1950's and I was born and raised in Manhattan myself. Jim's story is an inspiration to all of us that have had to struggle to life. God Bless to all. Angel

I just saw the movie today and was welded to my seat, except for when I was cheering Braddock on. It is only an exceptional movie because such an exceptional man lived. The movie gives people the sense of honor, pride, and determination that is horribly invisible, if not lacking, in today's society. Braddock's story is not merely about an underdog, but a real person living for his family and his passion.

Phenomenal movie, awesome casting, sensation acting and just an incredible story.

It is so wonderful when a historic figure who people know so little about can be immortalized in a film like this. This is Seabiscuit in a boxing ring!

THe boxing was great, but the story of survival during the Great Depression was also a sad lesson that needed to be told.

Ron Howard & Russell Crowe....clear another space on your mantel...there is an Oscar coming your way.

Just saw the Cinderella Man movie. You must be so proud of your grandfather, what a wonderfu legacy for you.
