heart pounding
THIS IS A GREAT MOVIE, I enjoyed this even more than rocky. This movie will have you standing and cheering at the end of it, its that good. A great underdog story and trust me the first time you see this movie your heart will be pounding in the last match its one of those movies

Mild language my a**
Although this type of movie is really not my thing, I thought I'd review it before letting my son watch. Concerns parents might have with this movie are as follows: -Some pretty intense boxing violence -People seen smoking both cigarettes and cigars -People seen drinking -Coarse Language: Use of "a_s" 6 times Use of "a_shole" 1 time Use of "sh_t" 2 times Use of "Bullsh_t" 2 times Use of "Bast_rd" 3 times Use of "son of a b_tch" 2 times Use of "god da_n" 5 times Use of "Jesus Chr_st" 4 times Use of "Chr_st sake" 2 times Use of "hell" 7 times Some positive messages in this movie include: -never give up, no matter what -and a great message on "stealing" Because of the language in this movie I feel it is not appropriate for children to watch if they are under the age of 13.

the violence is easy to avoid
I cannot watch boxing violence, so was able to turn my head. I plan to take my 11 year old, because he can do the same thing, and the messages of this film are worth the head-turning. Honor, love, human dignity, real family values...and a portrait of life in the Depression that shaped his grandparents, but about which our kids are not taught in school.

Sophisticated movie with great messages
Really depends on the child. The movie takes place in the depression and all major characters are adults. If your child can handle the violence, this is a sophisticated movie with pretty clear messages that are: * a family can lose everything material and still stick together. * most adults are responsible, and even if they make occasional mistakes they try as hard as they possibly can. * sometimes, people have really, really horrible luck. * specific examples of people struggling and the real problems that they face with varying success. * examples of conflict that arise due to circumstances. The boxing scenes are rough, but they're boxing, not gratuitous dismemberment, huge over-glamorized bombs or anything my teen son would consider "gun porn." In fact I think for teens who glamorize violence, this is a good reality check movie. It's not actually about the boxing, it's about the family struggle. I also think it's particularly good for kids who are terrified of what would happen if they became poor, or who have feelings that poor people are in some way fundamentally different than they are. I strongly recommend seeing this with your relatively sophisticated teen(s) as a shared experience that, even if you don't talk about it right away, might provide a valuable reference point in the future. Very strongly recommended for 15+. (I'm very squeamish, but it was fine.) Girls/women too.

 
A real story
This is the best I've seen from Ron Howard. It is true that the boxing can make you cringe - that was the whole purpose. If you don't like boxing, and I don't, you can put your eyes down in parts because the story is so compelling. It brings up great dialogue about the depression and what real men with values look like. Not to mention the cinematography and the editing. If you like to watch movies for those parts of the craft, you'll find Howard's use of real time clever and appreciate his respect for the intelligence of the viewer.

AWESOME!! *****
If you have a family, and have ever gone thru different periods in your life that were good then bad? I mean a very close family. A family that would do anything for each other. FOREVER & ALWAYS! This movie is AWESOME! Ron & Russell are great together AGAIN! If anyone seeing this film doesn't get a tear in their eye at least once...(WELL THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOU!)

 
I rewatched this recently, now that I am 15
I remember waiting a three months for this movie to come out and saw it when I was 14 (As is obvious if you look at the first kid review-- name look familiar?) A few months later and more movies in, this movie still stands as one of my all time favorites. I know, this sounds like I'm just some teen who likes bad movies-- don't worry, I know I'm not (seeing as my favorite movies include "A Beautiful Mind", "Schindler's List", and "The Green Mile"). Let me just say that this was THE most inspiring movie I had seen at the time, and might still be, except maybe for "Schindler's List". There really sin't much bad content. Language is basically a "s" words (I do NOT recall a mouth "f" word), and violence is your basic boxing violence, nothing serious.
