When Marjorie Caner returns from abroad, she is quite lonely in her millionaire father's big house. Learning that a young poet, Anthony Quintard, is living in poverty next door while working on the libretto of a great opera, she skips across the roofs and brings him a Christmas banquet. The poet sees Marjorie, and knowing that he detests wealth, she pretends to be the secretary of the Caner family.....

Critics consensus

“With grittiness and an evocative sense of time and place, Cinderella Man is a powerful underdog story. And Ron Howard and Russell Crowe prove to be a solid combination.”

Howard's movie skillfully delivers that primal, heart-pounding satisfaction that is the promise of all boxing tales.

RTTime OutAug 17, 2007

As for the fights themselves, Howard brings nothing new to the canvas. Like the movie as a whole, they work fine enough, even while encased in leaden certitude.

RTTime OutJun 24, 2006

The fight scenes have a stinging authenticity and, although at 144 minutes it outstays its welcome, this is Howard's best film since Apollo 13

No filmmaker in his right mind would want his boxing picture released a scant few months after Million Dollar Baby, but Cinderella Man is so structurally and tonally different that it might as well be about jai alai.
