And this is good...?
So goes the plot description from the press release for Clint Eastwood's Million Dollar Baby (which, incidentally, is PG-13 and runs 137 leisurely-Clint-style minutes):
In the wake of a painful estrangement from his daughter, boxing trainer Frankie Dunn (CLINT EASTWOOD) has been unwilling to let himself get close to anyone for a very long time – then Maggie Fitzgerald (HILARY SWANK) walks into his gym. In a life of constant struggle, Maggie’s gotten herself this far on raw talent, unshakable focus and a tremendous force of will. But more than anything, she wants someone to believe in her. The last thing Frankie needs is that kind of responsibility – let alone that kind of risk – but won over by Maggie’s sheer determination, he begrudgingly agrees to take her on. In turns exasperating and inspiring each other, the two come to discover that they share a common spirit that transcends the pain and loss of their pasts, and they find in each other a sense of family they lost long ago. Yet, they both will face a battle that will demand more heart and courage than any they’ve ever known.
Scott? MD'A? No doubt Sean? Is this just piss-poor advertising drivel? Or does Clint really, really, really redefine the old making-the-clichés-work routine?
