Cinderella Man,

I watched Cinderella Man last night. The movie was basically good, but not great and very predictable (I don't mean there was any twist or anything it was just what you would expect). However there was a subplot with a guy trying to organize a union and they talked about Hoovervilles. I thought the movie would be much more interesting if they would have followed that storyline instead.

"Hoovervilles" were named that because of Herbert Hoover's economic policy (actually Calvin Coolidge's, but he was smart enough not to run again) that a lot of people attributed to the great depression. This same policy would later be repackaged and named Reaganomics.
