Hello, I just finished watching "The Fighter". I thought it was a very good movie. If you dont like boxing, then you probably will not like this movie. However, it was about more than boxing. It's based on true story of Mickey Ward and his dysfunctional family. He had a controlling mother for his manager and his half brother a drug addict was his trainer. It's a story of how Mickey made it to a championship and his interaction with his family.

Mark Wahlberg was great as Mickey. His brother in the movie played by Christian Bale won Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.

Amy Adams was terrific as Mickey's girlfriend.

His mother in the movie played by Melissa Leo won Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in a movie.

ALL actor and actresses were very good.... Kay in NC
