Washed-up boxer Charlie Kenton (Hugh Jackman) scrapes by as a small-time robot-fight promoter as he tries to make a comeback.

We loved that the movie starred one of our favorite actors from ABC’s “LOST,” Evangeline Lilly! We also really enjoyed the plotline and how the movie had a great message about being the underdog and working hard to accomplish your dreams! It was fun to see Hugh Jackman’s main co-star be so young, and we bet his kids really enjoyed watching the story unfold on screen!
Even though some of the main characters in the movie where robots, they each had their own individual personalities and you could definitely connect with them on screen as if they were actors. You learned to love them throughout the film, well, most of them! There were a couple of bots that just weren’t very nice!
We highly recommend “Real Steel” to anyone and everyone! It’s a great family movie with great characters and a great message. We really liked it!

Here’s an interview Hugh Jackman did about his movie “Real Steel.” The movie will be available on Blu-ray and DVD on January 24, 2012.
Q: Your character, Charlie, has a tough relationship with his son, Max. Being a dad yourself, was that hard to play?
A: After a few days of shooting, Shawn [Levy] pulled Dakota and me aside. He said, “Look, Dakota, you’re obviously a very well brought up, polite kid. And Hugh, you like children. Both of you need to stop it immediately.” After that, there were several times after Shawn called, “Cut!” that I’d see Dakota look over at his mom like he was going to get in trouble. It was kind of like, “They told me to say this, mom, so it’s okay.” It obviously went against the grain for him to talk to me the way he did.
Having said that, I do have two children and there are times when you want to say things that you’re not allowed to say. It was nice to be able to let it rip for three months. It was good therapy.
Q: Have your kids seen the movie?
A: Yes, they love the movie. It’s the first one of my movies they’ve seen. If you think about it, there hasn’t been anything else that’s really appropriate for them, apart from a couple of animated movies I’ve done. They can’t wait to see it again. They really got into the story of the robots. They were cheering for them and I saw both of them getting a tear in their eye. My mother-in-law was at the same screening and she was crying too.
