Million Dollar Baby is a sporting drama film about Maggie (Hilary Swank) who wants to become a professional female boxer and spends all her time and effort trying to improve despite everyone doubting her. She asks the owner of the boxing club, Frankie (Clint Eastwood) to teach her and get her into her first fight. Even when he declines her she still tries and she struggles for success. He eventually tries to help her and train her till she is ready to fight. She wins fight after fight and is a huge success.However in the battle for the world championship, Maggie will have to fight more than her opponent.....

I gave this film 4 stars because it a exciting and inspiring film with a great plot which touches the audience. It is very suspenseful and at some points during the film it brought a tear to your eye. I enjoyed this film and I would recommend it.
