Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

Salon (Stephanie Zacharek)

Cinderella Man is ostensibly the kind of old-fashioned drama that sends audiences home with a satisfied glow. But like so many of Howard's movies, there's something canned and phony about it -- it left me feeling cooked and dehydrated, as if I'd fallen...read the complete Cinderella Man (2005) review at Salon (Stephanie Zacharek)
