Giving this movie a 4.7 is overly generous. Imagine watching grass grow. That was more exciting and filled with a better plot than the Fish that Stunk Pittsburgh. Like a lot of other reviewers, I was also an extra in this boring movie. And I went to LA after the shooting and met some people who told me they'd change the name and you'll never recognize it after editing. Wrong. I was a college student at Pitt and there was a lot of hype and radio ads looking for unpaid extras. Not as many people showed up as you'd think. There were maybe enough people to fill only 1 part of 1 section of the Civic Arena. They shoved as many people into this 1 section to make it look like the arena was filled. And over and over again we had to act surprised or shocked at something, I don't remember what it was now. And that was the best part of being there. Otherwise it was horrible. You could tell the ball players were bored and everyone there was bored too. It was so bad nobody could stand it. Whoever paid good money to make this movie should have taken a page out of Night of the Living Dead, a low budget classic horror film made in the suburbs of Pittsburgh. The creatures could have eaten the director, the producer and everyone associated with that piece of trash, which would have made a better plot.
