Million Dollar Baby is on HBO for the millionth time this week, and I'll repeat what I've said a hundred times: The Movie Sux.
And I've finally decided it's not the poor script, the ridiculous dialogue, the stupid fight scenes (it's BOXING not the WWE), or the Shawshank Redemption rip-off of the Morgan Freeman voice over, but it's the absolutely horrific acting. Clint Eastwood was awful and Hilary Swank was terrible.
And it won an Academy Award.

I beg to differ, I loved this movie! It was really very sad but is still one of my favorites! To each his own.

But you know you would still like to get into the "ring" with her though...admit it!
Barry, I so agree...I'm not a big Clint Eastwwod fan anyway, but I love Hillary Swank, she was awseome in Boys Don't Cry, but in this movie, the acting was mediocre at best.
It was average at best. And I have no particular feelings about Eastwood (like him mostly), Swank or the subject of boxing. It was just a plodding movie. Yuk.
Keep you day job, perhaps you suck as a critic. It is entertainment and you have channel selection as well as Tivo. Entertainment is obviously somewhat subjective...remember...... Oprah?
I'm with you Barry, I sat and watch it with much anticipating, hoping it get betters, but no, it gets worse. The worst ending ever.
OH, I HATED the ending too...loved Morgan Freeman though. He's magnificent.
