Very great sports film

Rating: 9/10 (27 April 2016)

I would have to say that I have seen very few sport movies better than For Love of the Game. This is a feel good movie. It was light drama and it was extremely well done. You can clearly see that every one who has worked on this film, had real passion for their job, the story and the overall quality of the film
Costner portrayed an aging baseball player with a romantic attachment to the game. The symbolism of the movie was the notion of ending a romance for the game and transferring that romance to a woman. For him, at least, there was room for only one at a time. And, fortunately for her, his career was at the very end. Fortunately for us, we got to see his last game interspersed with flashbacks.
The movie was brilliantly done with respect to the actual game of baseball. I cannot recall having seen a sports movie that did such an excellent job of maintaining accuracy about the game. I honestly could have believed I was watching an actual game. The plays were realistic. The situations realistic. And, Vin Scully was sensational doing the play by play.
This is a must watch for any Baseball, sports fan or general movie goers. Trust me when i say this, but you will not be disappointed.
