I'm baffled at all the great reviews. This movie was awful. I swear it's like watching a spoof of a baseball movie - like when you're watching a comedy like Curb Your Enthusiasm and they're watching a bad movie that has all kinds of clichés and over the top music in every scene - that's what this is.
Everyone is miscast and if you know anything about baseball and watch the kid/grown up version of the person swing the bat, they're just swinging a bat level with no real baseball skill and then it cuts to a ball flying over the fence.
But honestly, forget the bad casting and cliched lines in every single scene - it's the over the top "heart wrenching" music in every scene. EVERY scene.
Then he goes 10 for 10 in his big game - gets his and instead of taking his base, he's going to still hit - and of course it couldn't be any predictable. It's like a Simpson's parody. If you just told someone it was a parody in the Simpsons and explained it, they'd laugh.
Awful movie. As someone who loves baseball movies and can even sit through a bad Christian movie if it's entertaining, this was dreadful.
