James J. Braddock - Guestbook

Welcome to the official guestbook of the James J Braddock website. Due to spam, we have been forced stop guestbook entries.

We loved the movie...It is nice to remember people in this world with such great character...A good family movie with positive moral values...

I thought that Cinderella Man was a great movie. Mr. Braddock seemed like a real family man and devoted to his family. His wife really stood by her man. It was very refreshing to see such devotion to each other.

One of the best movies I’ve seen in a long time. Ron Howard is truly a gifted director.
James Braddock was a man of principal and dedicated to his family. These are rare
qualities in today’s athletes.

Jimmy Braddock, a terrific fellow !! I was amazed at number of folks who didn't know who he was....I've know about him for years and am not that old !! Great movie, does him justice !!

Sensational!! Jimmy Braddock represents determination, courage, class, family values ect... Makes me proud to be a American!

Great movie, well acted and directed. Inspirational at it's best but over the top and unnecessary in it's portryal of Max Baer. But at no time does it take away from the courage and class of Jim Braddock.

What a difference between super stars now and James Braddock!! Saw the movie - very powerful, emotional and inspiring. Going to recommend it to all my children and grandsons - also this website. Great acting by all. I didn't recognize Giamatti with no hair until my daughter told me about him being in Sideways.

It was a pleasure seeing a movie about an Irish Family. Also, the characters protrayed love and loyalty that is highly regarded in an Irish Family. This movie made me very proud to be Irish.

I think "Cinderella Man" is one of the best sports film of all time. Jimmy Braddock would have knocked "Iron" Mike's block off. You know why? Dedication and Self-Respect. Jimmy Braddock is a true American hero and Mike Tyson hung himself after being given the keys to the kingdom.

What a wonderful movie. My wife was not a fight fan, but she really enjoyed the movie.

Wow!!! I had to talk my husband into seeing this fantastic story & he was sure glad I got my way! What a inspiring man!! I too had to read more about him & wanted to see the real "Cinderella Man" This type of movie is proof that we want to see good values! Thnx for sharing!!

Cinderella Man was a very touching movie. I left the movie theatre with the utmost respect for James Braddock. He is a true inspiration for upcoming boxing hopefuls and a role model for children. He is as courageous as them come.

As an employee for Carmike Cinemas, Inc. I enjoy as many movies as I want. This weekend my husband and I saw Cinderella Man. It was a very moving and emotional movie. It was so refreshing to see a movie that captured family devotion, love, endurance and honesty. What a man and family it depicted.
endurance, dignity and

My mother and I went to this movie Sat. night. We laughed and we cried together. What a man to be proud of!!!! To never take from anyone unless down and out and then to return it when things turned around for him. Strong morals and family values. Be proud of who and where you come from.

I was deepy euphoric and saddened when i get to see Sir Braddock's movie last night the: Cinderella Man. I was amazingly inspired by the switch of event. His life denotes everything of good moral values: family, honesty, loyalty, inner wisdom, spirit and courage. To you Sir Braddock.. wherever you are.. thank u so very much for the inspiration. Best wishes to your entire clan.

James J. Braddock's life was and is truly an inspiration! Today it is easy to complain about work. After learning more about his life in the depression and his pleading for work at the docks or a boxing match, it breaths new positive attitude into my work. His service in WWII is to be commended and praised as well. Not all great boxers served this great nation when called upon. PS - Great web site!

WHAT A GREAT MOVIE ABOUT A GEAT MAN, I COACHED FOOTBALL FOR 31 YEARS, AND OFTEN TOLD THE STORY OF BRADDOCK TO MY BALL PLAYERS AS AN EXAMPLE OF BEING AN UNDERDOG AND WHAT DESIRE AND COURAGE CAN ACCOMPLISH. THE MOVIE IS A MUST SEE FOR ALL PEOPLE WHO RESPECT THE COURAGE AND DIGNITY OF A PERSON. I REALLY AM SURPRISED THAT HOLLYWOOD HAD IT IN THEM.

Really inspirational story. The Braddock family has much to be proud of...

After seeing the movie on the 70th aniversery of his fight with Max Baer, the story of James J. Bradock is one of the truly great stories in all of sports and all of American Histroy! His family should be proud!

Great Movie about Jimmy Braddock,but horrible portrayal of Max Baer.
Ron Howard Made Max to be a Monster,but nice to learn Jimmy's story.
Mike

WHAT AN INSPIRATIONAL MOVIE, ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES I HAVE SEEN IN MY 30 YEARS. JIM WAS ONE HELL OF A
MAN YOUR FAMILY HAS ALOT TO BE PROUD OF. THANKS FOR A WONDERFUL MOVIE MR. HOWARD I WILL PURCHASE THE DVD THE DAY IT COMES OUT.

I SAW THE MOVIE THE DAY AFTER MIKE TYSON SAT IN HIS CORNER AND REFUSED TO COME OUT FOR ROUND SEVEN. WHAT A CONTRAST IN MEN AND THEIR VALUES! HOW MANY OF TODAY'S PROFESSIONAL SPORTS' FIGURES WOULD EVEN THINK OF SERVING THEIR COUNTRY?

This was a great movie and I would recommend it to anyone. It is truly an inspiration and a tribute to a great man. It makes me think about my own family and the struggles they faced during the Depression years.

MY GRANDMOTHER HAD TOLD US OF HER HUSBAND'S ADMIRATION OF JIM BRADDOCK - SO, I HAD TO SEE THE FILM....WHAT A TRIBUTE TO A WONDERFUL PERSON!! THANKS FOR ALL THE INFO ON YOUR WEBSITE!

What an inspiring life the champ lived. We loved the movie....laughed & cried. Congratulations to Ron Howard & all who made this such a wonderful movie. You did good Opie!!
