Without giving anything awaything away. The movie is definitely not Rocky with a girl; it ended up way differently than I thought it would. Morgan Freeman does the narration in a very similar fassion to Shawshank. Other than that, I will say that this is definitly a movie worth watching, either in the theatre or on DVD, it depends on preference. I liked this one mainly because it was a step out of the traditional Hollywood set-up for a movie, even if that's what it appears to be for a while.
It won big at the Oscars:
Best actress
Best Supporting Actor - Morgan Freeman, finally!
Best Director
Best Motion Picture of 2005
