It took me a while to figure out, plowing through the bloody macho fight stuff and all, but then it hit me. THIS IS ACTUALLY A CHICK FLICK!!! Brilliant move by Eastwood. Might win him an Oscar. Not that it didn't have it's good moments. It was most engrossing when Clint was teaching the babe the finer points of boxing. But it had a lot of plot holes and weaknesses in character development. One example of many: the babe is a gung ho boxer all of a sudden at 31. OK, so what the HELL was she doing for 16 years since she hit puberty? We have no clue. Not a bad movie, but had a "built by committee" feel to it and REALLY tries to squeeze out every tear it POSSIBLY can at the end.
