not impressed at all.

Rating: 6/10 (25 May 2005)

Am I the only living person on this planet that feels let down by this film?? that feels cheated, after paying 6 pounds to see the same old boring story? Hopeless boxer, no money, no talent, finds a trainer and becomes the world champion. Thank you very much Rocky, we got the message first time out. Sure, Million Do. Baby offers a change from the norm and uses a woman as the main protagonist, and kills her off at the end, but nevertheless it still remains the classic underdog story that's been used far too many times in films. Not that I care too much, but how this film managed to win 3/4 of the main academy awards still defies my intelligence. This is all the more surprising when you consider the presence of Hotel Rwanda in the "Best Picture" category and Don Cheadle in the "Best Actor" one. Please, please, please don't spend any money on this film. If it is offered to you free, and you've done the washing, hoovered, trimmed the roses, done up the garden, defrosted the fridge and cleaned the toilet, then think about giving it a go. Otherwise, stay away from it. It will be w total waste of your time. Peace
