Absolutely Perfect

Rating: 10/10 (7 January 2009)

Having grown up in baseball and having been to Yankee Stadium many times (albeit a Mets fan) having raised a son who played through high school and for a few summers with either or both VFW and Legion .... let me say that this film is so well crafted in its accuracy, style and depth. The baseball side of the story is fit so well into the love story through the directing. Both Kevin and Kelly are obvious professionals but I think Kelly really shined in this movie. Look at her facial expressions, she is amazing. Gus plays the perfect match to Billy on the baseball side, but then catcher and pitcher should have that special match. The subtleties all around are excellent and too many to mention. Do yourself a favor if you like baseball or a good love story or just great writing and acting. A class act, no fluff here. Enjoy a true classic.
