A movie so beautiful it's almost painful. A movie glorifying our national past-time and the movie is even better than the game itself. It's beautiful and innocent beyond words. It's so incredibly well done I feel like you could just plug and play in actors and actresses and it wouldn't matter. I can't imagine anyone else giving James Earl Jones' speech about baseball being the one constant throughout American history though. The movie simplifies life in a way that all that truly matters is playing and enjoying baseball. It is getting some heavy rotation on Starz and it is simply a must see. It matters not if you don't like baseball, it's so much greater than that. It transcends the "sports movie" title and is truly one of the best movies of my lifetime.
9.7 out 10- Really just about as close to perfect as possible. "You wanna have a catch" is without question one of the most likely movie moments to induce grown men to tears.
