"But of course, regardless, the movie is tripe and propaganda and Micheal Medved, et al were correct to say the ads were grossly misleading."

I'll give you the short version: the ads were NOT grossly misleading. The ads are gloomy, sobering, not one bit "uplifting." If your definition of an "honest" movie ad is one that tells you every twist, turn and development that goes on in the movie...dude, that's not an ad, that's the movie itself.

"The ads are gloomy, sobering, not one bit "uplifting."

I'll grant that this is subjective, but that's not how they came across to me. I was even actually thinking about seeing this movie, because of the ads, even though I am opposed to women boxing.

But I must state for the record that I actually ended up watching the sympathetic female boxing plot on an episode of Johnny Zero, so that was ironic in a way.
