Movie Description
The following content was provided by the publisher.
The true story of an athlete who achieved his greatest success against the most daunting odds of his life is brought to the screen in this historical drama. In the 1920s, James Braddock (Russell Crowe) from Bergen, NJ, was a promising contender in professional boxing; he had strength, spirit, and tenacity, but the combination of a serious hand injury and a 1929 defeat in a bout with light heavyweight champ Tommy Loughran sent his career into a serious tailspin. As Braddock's career in the ring dried up, the Great Depression put a stake through the heart of America's economy, and Braddock found himself working at the New York docks for pitiful wages as he tried to support his wife, Mae (Ren?e Zellweger), and three children. Desperate for money, Braddock turned to his former trainer and manager Joe Gould (Paul Giamatti), who was unexpectedly able to scare up a bout for him, battling John Griffin at Madison Square Garden. While conventional wisdom had it that Braddock was too old, out of shape, and out of practice to have any chance of winning, he defeated Griffin, and continued beating his opponents with a powerful left hook that had been intensified by years of punishing dock work. In a nation desperate for good news, Braddock's surprising comeback became a tonic to struggling workers and unemployed people, and all eyes were on Braddock when in 1935 he took on powerful heavyweight champion Max Baer (Craig Bierko) in what was both literally and figuratively the fight of his life. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide.

Rated 5 out of 5 by jada5358 Great Movie! Shows a man and his love for his family. To go against all odds to provide for them. 02/05/2010
Rated 1 out of 5 by IPWife An uplifting, inspirational film This movie was awesome- based on a true story about hard work and perserverance! A good film to lift your spirits- I would caution watching it with children- there is one scene where profanity (specifically God's name in vain) is used several times. Overall a good film. 04/25/2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by 1GBFan One GREAT movie!!!!!! OMG! I absolutely LOVE this movie. It's the kind of movie that makes you feel so many different things during the movie, and it's based on a true story so I love that. The cast is phenominal in this movie! Russell Crowe, Renee Zellweger and Paul Giamatti are all so excellent, they give such top class performances that you think that you are right there along side them. I am not big on the boxing world, but this movie was something else, I absolutely will watch it over and over again! Makes you root for the family man who proves beyond all doubt that he loves his family and would do ANYTHING to keep them all together beyond all the odds stacked against him no matter what!! 01/18/2012
