Caught this one in the wee hours of the morning, up with son.
(56) Freedom Writers (2007): A decent turn by Hillary Swank, but the material was treated with kid gloves, and at time was the total cliche of every other "kids from the hood do well because teacher cares" movie. Some bits were good, especially the the story thread about Anne Frank and her diary. Aside from that, not so much. There are some good acting turns in this movie, which is why I will rate it higher than I might otherwise, but the characters are thin and the story never hit the depth I could have.
