Yeah, it's a good movie. Nothing is added to the scope of boxing movies. There's the proverbial down and out followed by training, sprinkle in family drama, only to reach the big fight finale. I won't tell you how it ends but I'll say he does win...or lose.
What sets this one apart is the humor. I was surprised at how funny it was. The coven of sisters is classic. The mom almost steals the movie. Bale is the funniest crack addict this side of Dave Chappelle's Tyrone Biggums.
Anyway, good flick. I give it:
