Movie Haiku:BioPic about boxer Micky Ward (Wahlberg) & his love/hate relationship with his crazy working class family: Mom (Leo) & crackhead brother (Bale). We love all these actors but film feels "old"--mannered performances, predictable story arc, haven't we seen all of this before? Adams playing "candy ass" galpal was more "real" as the singing princess in ENCHANTED!
