We went to this wonderful, inspiring movie this morning. I came home and did a search for James Braddock as I hadn't heard of him until Cinderella Man, the movie. What an incredible website and the movie a tribute to an awesome human being. Your entire family do our country proud. Thank you so much.

Before seeing "Cinderella Man" I did not know who James J. Braddock was. After seeing it, I will never forget him. He is the kind of man that renews your faith in the human race. What a heart, what courage, what class.

My daughter and I saw the movie Cinderella Man last night. I grew up watching boxing with my Dad. He was a man of honor like Jim...I'm so happy to see a movie with such a wonderful message today. I'm taking my 12 yr old grandson tonight, and having my son take his 11 yr old son. Thanks Ron Howard and Russell Crowe, but mostly, Bless James J. Braddock.

BRAVO! Cinderella Man will quickly become a "classic" with what has to be Russell Crowe's best performance to date. Thank you to Ron Howard for a beautiful and unforgettable film!

We saw "Cinderella Man" last night. What a wonderful story! It's comforting to know that one of our great, American heroes carried such high moral standards and family values. He has given me hope and inspiration to finish with my career struggle.

I was born in 1945 and my father was a big fan of James J. Braddock. I was named after him. Over the years my dad told me some stories, but I never realized what a terrific story was behind the man.
My fahter passed away suddenly in 1966, but would truly be pleased at having his favorite fighter and my name sake portrayed in such a terrific movie.
Thank you, Ron Howard.

Mu husband and I saw the movie today.
It is wonderful. Ron Howard another great movie. Renee and Russell are great in the roles.
Joanne - Sioux Falls, Sd USA [2005-06-05 16:41:16]
A great movie about a man that personifies early America - a honorable fighter who never gave up. The film is as good as Hollywood is capable of producing. The acting was excellent and Ron Howard should be commended for creating such a great work.

Just saw "Cinderella Man"! One of, if not, the best movies I have ever seen. What a great story this is of heart and determination. It was a very moving film that brought tears to my eyes. Ron Howard and Russell Crowe have literally outdone themselves. God Bless Jim Braddock and his entire family. What a gift it must be to his family to have Jim's inspirational story told to millions of people that may not had ever heard of him. I read on here that one of Jim's grandchildren actually played the role of Sara Wilson in the film. Thats great that Ron Howard was able to incorporate an actual family member into the movie. Hands down, Best Picture of the Year!!!!
