I'm really excited to see this film. Of course because Hilary Swank is in it but I've never heard about this lady that's the subject of the film. Cant wait! This could be Hilary's 3rd oscar according to some reviewers!

It's about this English teacher named Erin Gruwell who tought English in Long Beach California. She was able to make a connection with very troubled kids and alot of them turned out to be published authors. ONe of the powerful scenes in the movie I guess I where she asks her students to raise their hand if theyve been shot. All of them did.

I don't like Swank. Her horse face is so distracting, I can't concentrate on the movie. Well, Million Dollar Baby was OK. But that's it. Anyway, I've already seen this movie - Lean On Me with Morgan Freeman.

when I saw the previews I was like, hasn't Michelle Pfieffer already covered the "white woman turns out inner city kids and evokes world peace" role?
