I love a good crowd-pleaser amid a commercial wave of cynicism, especially one directed by Ron Howard, starring Russel Crowe, scored by Thomas Newman. And the "true story" angle always helps.

A predictable, clichéd, formulaic story of one man?s struggle against adversity. Not usually my cup of tea, but I thought this was quite good! I have a lot of niggles with its direction and continuity but overall, it?s a good Ron Howard film.
