Ok so I'm up late one night and there's nothing on the premium channels so I change to TNT to see Cinderella Man and it's about a half hour or so into the movie.
Now, normally I would never talk about a movie on the forums having not seen it all the way through first. That being said, I CAN'T RESIST TALKING ABOUT THIS MOVIE.
The performances, amazing...they just felt so honest and genuine I couldn't think of a single bad thing to say. I don't care if Giamatti doesn't know a damn thing about boxing, I'D WANT THAT MAN IN MY CORNER 7 DAYS A WEEK, AND TWICE ON SUNDAY. Craig Bierko has officially knocked William Zabka off his pedestal as the lord of movie scumbags (that's a good thing, btw) and even Zellweger who I sometimes can't stand was great.
But Crowe...jeez...what a classy son'bitch he was. I don't think there's a man who's ever seen this movie who can't see shades of himself in this role because I definitely sure did. I'm not married with children, but with every fight he was in I definitely had an understanding of what it's like to go to war with someone who's pretty much attempting to take food off your wife and children's plates...intense stuff.
In conclusion I feel like I cheated myself out of this amazing experience 3 years ago...and just thought I'd share that with you all.
SHIVER ME TIMBERS...
CINDERELLA MAN GETS A 9/10 FROM ME.
