I have been showing Cinderella Man in my English class for 2 years.
The acting, directing, and inspirational plot make for a wonderful and entertaining way to discuss literary elements. Cinderella Man is one of my all-time favorite films (and I'm really picky). It is a pleasure to share this inspirational true story with my students and to recommend it to others.

After seeing cinderella man it actually saddened me in a way to know that such a courageous and noble man fought in a time way before mine, and unfortunately i wasn't around to have witnessed such a fairy tale career. It's a shame you don't see boxers with the same heart as mr.braddock fighting anymore, you are truly a champion in and outside of the ring.

may you rest in peace

I am watching the movie now and it is very moving as we are close to a depression and we have had some of those hard times before this. I wish I had that stamina to endure as they did, in the future we are getting into. Great movie!

I watched the movie just after it was released on DVD, then for the second time today. Was impressed even more with the second viewing. How wonderful a man (and family) to give so much back to the community and to our country he did throughout his life.

We just watched Cinderella Man, and like everyone else on this guestbook, I was touched and inspired. You must be proud to be the grandson of such an honorable man. Great website, and thanks for all the information and photos.

I just saw the movie, "Cinderella Man", this morning Aug 2, 2008. What an inspirational movie. Although I didn't know anything about James J. Braddock, other than his name, and he was a boxer, I found him to be honorable, and a decent human being. What an incredible testament to human race. Long live, the memory of James J. Braddock, who really was, the working man's hero.

We just watched the movie, again, and it touched us both to see the man's determination to do wat he had to for his family. I thank God that we have such inspirationaly heros in our past that we can point to and say "Now there's a man who knows what family is about."

He didn't do it for fame and money - he did it to keep the food on the table. weather "it" was working the dock, or taking a punch, he didnt shrink from it.

Thanks for the inspiring story.

J.J.Braddock in an example to all sports men & women and of course to us lesser mortals who can only look & watch in aw at the incredible level of personnel courage, natural sporting ability & moral integrity of the man who demonstrated the quality and character that we can strive to achieve. God bless you J.J. Maddock

He was a hero in our household. My mother turned 25 a month before his championship fight with Max Baer and she talked about him and his character our whole life. She used to say "the heck with Notre Dame, the Pride of the Irish is with Jimmy Braddock!" And she said he single handledly began the end of the depression with his determination and grit. God Bless James Braddock.

A wonderful and inspirational movie about a truly outstanding man...God bless the Braddock family for participating in telling Jim's story! And Ron Howard...another great movie about the American spirit!

What a wonderful movie, and what a joy to know that this man was real, not a Hollywood character dreamed up for a "feel-good" movie. While his fairy-tale comeback is inspirational, what makes this man so truly remarkable was his devotion to family. If only people today were so devoted!

Thank you for sharing the life of this incredible man with the rest of the world

This was one of the best movies I've ever seen. To think it was based on actual events in the life of James Braddock is just awe inspiring. I just wish more people in this current world we live in had the morals, ethics , and principles of this great human being.
