Is everyone on CRACK??!!

Rating: Null/10 (2 February 2005)

Even though there are pages upon pages of comments, I just had to leave one myself because I didn't care much for this movie. And I really wanted to voice my opinion on it.
The main issue that I have with "Million Dollar Baby" is probably that there is absolutely no attempt to entertain. Instead, it just drones on (monotone voice-over included!) and there are too many elements of the real, i.e. non-victorious ending, that it just got incredibly BORING for me. "Old Yeller" w/ boxing, that's all I have to say!
Maybe that's the point, to mimic something real. But what was up to the letters to the daughter? Or that retarded guy who hung out at the gym everyday? Swank was believable as an underdog boxer who just wanted a chance and would stop at nothing to get it. Eastwood, okay...but a bit wooden, never truly "breaks down" like I thought he would. Freeman, I didn't really understand anything he was saying.
AM I MISSING SOMETHING??!! Or is everyone else on CRACK??!!
