Wake me when it's over!

Rating: Null/10 (21 September 1999)

What more can I say! Do you think it is possible for Kevin Costner to make a movie that is less than 2 hours long these days? This is a story about Billy Chapelle (Kevin Costner) and Time, as well as a love story thrown in there for effect, the only problem is that the love story consists of 3/4 of the movie. The baseball scenes are realistic, and well done. If director Sam Rami (A SIMPLE PLAN), had shortened the love story of Kevin Costner's character, and Kelly Preston's character to about 45 min, and made the rest of the movie about baseball, it would have been much more better! When I went to the movie, I found myself dozing off into dreamland, several times, and I wasn't even tired! The movie jumps back and forth through time, and is very frustrating to say the very least! If you like Kevin Costner,and you like baseball movies; check out BULL DURHAM, or FIELD OF DREAMS. My rating on a scale of 1/10 I would have to say 3, for the baseball content! Definately a first date movie.
