quick review: cinderella man

russell can lift me up anyday!

though sentimental and heavy on the 'reality' of the depression era, ron howard has crafted a perfectly exciting (the boxing scenes freaked me out) and relatively moving adult summer film that will be appreciated for years to come.

it also helps that russell crowe single handedly saves this film from total cheesiness, but then again, i am biased about my imaginary 'daddy/husband/boyfriend'.

my grade: B
