Even Better The Second Time Around

Million Dollar Baby (2004)

Starring: Clint Eastwood, Burgess Meredith Directed by: Clint Eastwood Rating: PG-13 Genre: Drama Other

Review Lizard-skinned Eastwood (Rooster Cogburn) plays Rocky to beautiful Michelle Rodriguez' Adrienne in this gender-switching remake of Eastwood's orangutan-laced comedy Every Which Way But Up. This time nonegenarian Burgess Meredith (Winterset) is along for the ride as the trio fights rednecks and flag-waving dumbos from cornpone-infested town to town to earn enough money for Rodriguez' aged grandfather to get a new set of peepers. Sometimes violent (it's The Man With No Name, after all) but always hilarious, this one gets a big thumbs up. Enjoy!
