"Real Steel" starring Hugh Jackman ("X-Men" "The Prestige" and Tony Award winning Broadway actor), Evangeline Lilly ("Lost" "The Hurt Locker") and the delightful Dakota Goyo ("Thor") is a very good family film. It has something for everyone: the beautiful Hugh Jackman for Mom, lots of action and the lovely Evangeline Lilly for Dad, plus fantastic robots and an 11 year old who rules the film for the kids. This is a formula film, of course, but it is one that is smart, funny, exciting, heart-warming and leaves you feeling good. It's not exactly the "Rocky" of robot movies but it is worth the money. I would recommend seeing it in the theatre, also. There is so much action and the robots are so wonderfully done, the impact of the film will probably lose something on the small screen.
***Side note: Hugh Jackman is going to be starring as Jean Valjean in the film version of the musical "Les Miserables." Hallelujah!
