First thoughts on ‘The Fighter’

Amy’s upcoming movie The Fighter doesn’t have a release date yet but things are moving forward on production. Test screenings have begun and here is what one lucky viewer had to say about Amy.

Amy Adams appears as Mickey Ward’s girlfriend (and eventual wife) Charlene. This was a fine turn for the actress who many first noticed in the Disney flick Enchanted. She was delightful in that film and she’s gritty in this one. Charlene is a sexy, tough, broad. Adams isn’t in this role for the glamor. Charlene isn’t a Disney princess. Seeing Amy Adams throw back a shot of whiskey, punch a girl in the nose, and call a bar patron a “cheap fuck”, makes my heart jump the way Micky’s must have. She is a man’s woman!
