Southpaw 2015

Yes this a movie about a boxer. No this isn't a boxing movie. It's a movie about family, love, children, "hope", and recovery. When I sat down in the theater to see this, I was expecting a boxing movie. It was a real life tale of a boxers journey through tragedy to get his life and family back together. As a father of two little girls, it had me a mess emotionally. I found myself in Hope's shoes, and rooting for all the characters in the film.

P.S. The guy in the red shirt and striped tie at the charity event put on a great performance. Watch for him!

P.P.S (spoiler alert) What's the deal with Hoppy. I don't see how that was really necessary in the film. Why add more tragedy to an already dark movie?
