Excellent Film!

I had heard mixed reviews about the movie from sports fans so I held off seeing this film in the movies. I am sorry I waited because it is an excellent film, deserving of all the accolades it received. Hilary Swank, Clint Eastwood, and Morgan Freeman are all excellent and play characters with a lot of depth.

Pretentious and Sentimental

A friend asked me recently if I liked boxing movies, and was surprised when I said yes. But this isn't a boxing movie. It's an ode to Clint Eastwood's self-image.

Good Story

For some time the strongest problems I've heard from other viewers about Million Dollar Baby is that it's either unrealistic or it's too depressing. Besides whatever wrong technical facts about Maggie's hospital stay I think this is a perfect and realistic story. Yes it was depressing but there are plenty of real people with worse stories that never got anything good in life. Though Maggie had an unfair life she kept a smile on her face and still worked hard to get where she wanted to be. She was … more

How to Live The Real American Dream?

Pros: See Review Cons: See Review The Bottom Line: Politics and social correctness aside Million Dollar Baby is well worth the effort to see, no experience. Plot Details: This opinion reveals minor details about the movie''s plot. Every once in a while a movie comes along that portrays the seedier side of American life; you know the side without the flashy cars, vapid characters, meaningless car chases, the large houses, fiery … more
