Master Don Juan
This is the best movie I have seen in a very long time. Everyone should go see it.
Oh knock it off with the "AFC" sh*t. It's called Cinderella Man because the sportswriter (Damon Runyon) called him that because his rise from poor guy with nothing to heavyweight champion of the world with betting odds 10 to 1 against him. It was like a fairy tale, thus -- "Cinderella Man".Originally posted by DJDamage
what is up with the title: Cinderella Man?????!!! why does the name have to be so AFC???
Alright but in terms of inspirational boxing movie, is this movie better then ROCKY???Originally posted by Giovanni Casanova

If you currently have too many women chasing you, calling you, harassing you, knocking on your door at 2 o'clock in the morning... then I have the simple solution for you.
Just read my free ebook 22 Rules for Massive Success With Women and do the opposite of what I recommend.
This will quickly drive all women away from you.
And you will be able to relax and to live your life in peace and quiet.
Well, in terms of the fact that this one is based on a true story....Originally posted by DJDamage

You tell me.
Not quite the same thing. This isn't just based on some boxer that someone saw and wrote a story about... this is based on actual historical events.Originally posted by DJDamage

You are putting words into my mouth. I was just having fun and making light of the title. As for the movie the reason I asked because it is the same genre about a boxer past his prime that is given an oppertuinty so succedd and does so. Rocky was a good movie and alot of people are comparing it to this.Originally posted by oOh Nasty
wow, you're real open-minded.
knocking on a movie just because of it's "AFC title." you don't see it to be better than Rocky? have you even seen Cinderella Man? im sorry, but i find that to be rather very shallow of you.
As said above, its because it was his "alias". Much like "Iron" Mike Tyson. Or "the golden boy" Oscar De La Hoya.Originally posted by FunnyCide
I saw the trailer for that movie and the whole theatre cracked up when the title was shown in the end. I haven't seen the movie but I think naming such a testosterone filled movie cinderella man is hilarious. (No diss on the movie itself cause I haven't seen it yet.)
A boxer with an alias like cinderella man is hilarious. Iron Mike Tyson has a tough sounding name that you would associate with a boxer...cinderella man on the other hand doesn't and that's why it's funny.Originally posted by CLOONEY

In the past that name would be acceptable but not today. Today if a boxer uses that nickname you expect him to show up to the ring with a dress.Originally posted by FunnyCide

You are missing the point. It is based on what he did.Originally posted by FunnyCide
