Negative Positive
Title: Million Dollar boo-boo
Review: I like Clint Eastwood and his movies for the most part. However, this multiple-Oscar winning film was very disappointing.I went into it not knowing anything about it except what was obvious from the DVD cover (female boxer) and the Oscar buzz...So, Clint brings the same gravelly voice he used in 1986's "Heartbreak Ridge", Hilary Swank brings an irritating drawl as well as an irritating character personality, and Morgan Freeman tags along and they all win Oscars.Not only was the movie a big downer, which normally is OK - they don't all have to be Disneyesque - but along the way I felt manipulated through some of it as it went off on tangents.Worst of all, I think, is the rather sudden development of an over-aged waitress into some type of boxing phenom - when we all know it really takes a lot more hard work, dedication, training, and luck to have that kind of success.Still, it was a well-made professional movie, and some people rate it a knock-out. I'm throwing in the towel.
