Negative Positive
Title: Totally over rated - lack of storyline - massive lack of realisism
Review: How did this film ever win any awards !Sentimental chick flick.A per previous reviews "Champ" did the sentimental boxer movie so much better (if that's your thing)Hilary Swank is totally unconvincing as a boxer - i wonder if she even spent a couple of days training for this movie. Sorry but compare that the Will Smiths preparation for Ali (not a great film either but at least it was possible to believe that he could at least fight his way out of a paper bag)The actual fight scenes are nonsense. That even goes for the corner work - check out the dry sponge as clint carefully dabs it over her face - probably in fear of smudging her makeupA waste of 2 hours
