Braddock (Russell Crowe), a heavyweight contender from New Jersey nicknamed "the Bulldog of Bergen," who lost his fame and fortune during the Great Depression only to win the hearts of the downtrodden during a spectacular comeback. Crowe is masterful as Braddock, with Renee Zellweger playing his wife, and Paul Giamatti as his loyal friend and manager, Joe Gould. The sharply observed script devotes a significant amount of screen time to the domestic struggles of Braddock's family; developing character and place with a wealth of period detail, so when the comeback starts, the payoff is enormous. The matches themselves are unforgettable: raw, intense, riveting, with more than a passing stylistic nod to Martin Scorsese's groundbreaking 1980 film, RAGING BULL.

Pros
Women on the Verge of a Naked Breakfast
Cons
A twisted vision of feminism and female empowerment.
Recommended it?
Yes
WARNING: The following review deals in a mature manner with pathetically immature sexual material. Discretion is advised.
I like Sarah Jessica Parker, I really do, and her hubby Matthew Broderick, too. They're my kind of people: Young (sort of), liberal-to-left, socially progressive and...

Pros
Giamatti, Howard, Crowe, and Zellweger in that order
Cons
Some parts seemed very similar to other boxing movies; Basically predictable
Recommended it?
Yes
Movies about the sport of boxing are often very action- packed and memorable and they often feature a comeback story where the underdog ends up the champion when the final bell rings.
