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!

who is it about?

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. :p

Did you see Boys Dont Cry?

haha. don't forget stand and deliver and dangerous minds.

Yup. I saw parts of Karate Kid III also. :D

I understnad if youre not a fan of hers. It's no big deal. I happen to enjoy her performancces very much. And I dont care if youre a fan of hers or not, her track record is pretty damn impressive.:nod:

i wanna see this so badly, but i will watch ANYTHING w/ hilary swank in it, she was born about 50 miles from where i live & so far i have loved everything she has done~

I just saw the preview yesterday. doesn't it have patrick dempsey in it??? :cool:

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?
