This one was a pleasant surprise, I hate boxing, I think its a gruesome sport. I don't watch it on tv, and I don't usually like movies about it, didn't like Ali, or any of the Rocky movies (YES I SAID IT I DON'T LIKE ROCKY) However The Fighter was thrilling from start to finish. It was more about Mickey Ward's struggle and triumphant journey toward becoming the WBU Intercontinental Light Welterweight Champion and less about the fighting. He overcame many obstacles growing up in the slums of Boston, and being pulled down by the weight of his destructive and calamitous family. More notably his crack head brother(Bale) who was more preoccupied with getting high than training him and his overbearing mother (Leo)who favored Dicky more and didn't have his best interest at heart. A wonderful cast, great acting by everyone, there was no weak link in this movie. I give it 4 JUICY MANGOES
