Cinderella Man | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

Giamatti gives a daring, bold performance that easily could have drifted into a cartoonish character.

In a season where adult films are at a minimum, it is a breath of fresh air.

Even Howard and Goldsman's penchant for being over-sentimental doesn't scupper the emotional punch Braddock's story packs. That's largely down to Crowe's utterly convincing performance.

The complexities of genuine human beings have no place in a Ron Howard production. This is film where a good woman stands behind her man, children listen to their father, and the Great Depression is described as a bit of hard times.
