Fighting Tommy Rileyhmm, is it really?
i guess it depends. i really didn't like this movie. truly, i didn't. it is the saddest happy ending i'd ever seen. i hope you see it, even if you end up hating it as much as i did because i illustrates the best and worst of human life. it shows the battles that all of us deal from one degree to another.
fighting tommy riley is about a young boxer who is discovered by an old professor who once was a boxer himself but missed his chance in his prime. this isn't rocky, folks but in some ways its better.< p>***
