I just saw this today I hadn't really ready any reviews but I was actually surprised because they did kind of make it out to be a female "Rocky" type movie. In the end though I really liked that it I wasn't the typlical happy ending hero-who-overcomes great-odds type of movie (even though I guess that's open to interpretation). Hillary Swank has come a long way and Oscar or not she's gotten recognized for that. I think it's kind of cool that she actually did grow up in a trailer from nothing so in it's own way it does kinda mirror her life.
I don't know if it was best picture or not but overall both of us felt it was well worth the price of admission.
