Game Changer (I) (2022)
10/10
Funny and Heartwarming Film
11 September 2022
Game Changer is a new classic, in the vein of The Sandlot, Little Big Leauge, Rookie of the Year, The Rookie, Major League and Major League 2 except this is the only baseball film to show you that a little (or sometimes ALOT) of faith is all you need to overcome your ego, clumsiness, diabetes and a pending court case in which the judge sentences you to 90 days in jail for speeding unless you can teach a motley crew of middle schoolers how to win on the field...and off...or are they teaching him?

A very funny and heartwarming film with a wonderful comedic turn from Joel DeVisser as Jordan Gabriel, a meat head hunk of a quarterback whose on the verge of signing his biggest contract ever. That is until he speeds and the judge offers him an ultimatum, go to jail for 90 days and lose his new contract signing or coach a team of middle schoolers to the championship baseball game! What would you do?

With the help of his team of underachievers, the diabetic kid's mom, the evil judge (or is he?) and Tim, Jordan just might hit a home run with what little faith remains in him after his dad (Cobb International Film Fest Award Winner Corbin Bernsen) walked out on him as a kid to become one of the greatest pitchers of all time. If he could only avoid falling off tables, walking into wooden posts and getting hit in the groin with helmets, and realize it's not what's in front of him, but what he's forgotten above him that will guide him home and keep him out of jail for 90 days for speeding.
