Reviews from our users [Review this film]
"My review for this film is much like that of the remake for The Bad News Bears. Very funny, but not a movie for children. The storyline was interesting and the main characters are gut busting. With that said, some inappropriate parts with 2 gay men (still trying to figure out what that has to do with baseball)." --Jason of Baseballmovie.com
"I'll give it a home run. It was a lot of fun, and it was the kind of movie that you could see with anyone, for instance, I saw it with my boyfriend, and a few of my girls, and we all loved it. Even when my mom went to see it, she loved it too. It's also really funny. The reason why I don't give it a grand slam, though, is because it was absolutely horrible content wise. For my friends and me, it doesn't matter, but my mom was appalled when she let my little brother see it. There was a lot of senseless violence and language that could've been taken out, but it's an all-around fun movie for teens."
"If you are a true baseball fan, you might be disappointed. But like in many true sport fans, the true heroes always come from behind. More of a comedy than anything else." --Jacqueline
