My father and I saw Million Dollar Baby at the Angelika earlier today and this is definitely a must-see movie. There are very few movies that get everything right, and this is one of them. It's basically an emotional drama disguised as a boxing movie, with a fair amount of comedy thrown in with the great chemistry between Clint Eastwood and Morgan Freeman. Hillary Swank is also awesome. Apparently the tomboy role is really her thing.

The movie hits a wide range of emotions, and hits them all well. The movie veers close to cliche at times, but never goes too far, or at least does it so well that you don't mind.

Just a beautiful movie that you'll definitely enjoy.
