This is just a great movie. Yes, it's a sports movie. Yes, it's a boxing movie. Yes, it's a true story about an underdog winning boxing movie. With just that stuff going for it, I would likely have enjoyed the movie. This movie had so much more depth to it, I loved it. Very well acted, and good as a period piece (depression era looked perfect), it was the story of family and overcoming the many struggles that had nothing to do with boxing that endeared this movie to me. The movie really didn't have any real weak points, and didn't seem overlong, even at a hefty run time. Uplifting.
