Did anyone see this? I know it is old, but I am finally catching up on movies. I loved it. I am curious to hear what others thought. I mean he did not leave one ethnic race out when insulting people.lol. I thought Clint did an awesome job.

I was actually really looking forward to the movie and was pretty disapointed.  It just seemed like a total cliche.  Lots of potential, but, every situaiton was a cliche. I considered stopping watching at lesat 5 times.  But, I saw it through.  I think the best part was the last 5 minutes.  lol.

Sorry.  :(

really? hmm, I found humor in it and thought he did a great acting job.

I wonder if anyone else liked it or am I alone.

Bill and I went to see it for a date night-whenever that was that it was in the theater.

I liked it. I don't think it was his BEST movie, but it was good. I thought the relationship he had with the family next door was pretty genuine, albeit yes-cliched. And he made you want to root for him.

We enjoyed watching it. Again, I don't think it was his best, but it was definitely enjoyable.

Million Dollar Baby was a far superior movie, IMO, in acting as well as character development.

Interesting. My friend told me it was SO good and doug and I went to see it on a date night. We had free tickets and still felt jilted. Honestly, for me, it is one of the worst movies I've seen. I thought the acting was HORRIBLE and just didn't like it. I liked how it ended and I liked the point but I really thought the movie was terrible.

Had we rented it we would have just turned it off, but we just sat through it in the theatre. I have heard a lot of people who love it so I would guess we are in the minority.

Love this movie. I'm not even a Eastwood fan but I really liked him in this. I never wanted to watch it but Ray rented it and I got caught up in it.

That reminds me to see that. I have not seen Million Dollar Baby. Hillary Swank won an Oscar for that, right?
