Amy Adams Joins Cast of The Fighter
by Matt Richenthal at .The cast of The Fighter just got a lot cuter.
Amy Adams has signed on to star opposite Mark Wahlberg and Christian Bale in the drama, which focuses on the life of boxer "Irish" Mickey Ward (Wahlberg) and trainer-brother Dick Eklund (Bale). The film chronicles their early days on the streets of Lowell, MA, as Eklund was hooked on drugs and Ward eventually won a world title in London.
Adams will portray Charlene, a bartender and former college high-jumper that dates Mickey.

Solid review. I felt that this too, was a C+/B- type of movie. Inception and The Social Network were the best that Hollywood had to offer this year, with The Fighter and True Grit being in the next tier. I rank Black Swan a liltte higher, but, count it as more of an indie type than big Hollywood.Also, for a David O Russell film, there is a certain something missing that I can't quite put my finger on. It didn't feel like a David O Russell film, but, perhaps reigning it in some helped.
