Very boring

Rating: 3/10 (7 October 2001)

I like baseball movies of all kinds--even sappy ones. I was ready to like this one. But...the use of the extended (and I mean extended) flashbacks was distracting and incredibly boring. It took too long to get back to the baseball story. It seems like they wanted this to be about anything but baseball. I wanted it to be about baseball. Go watch Bull Durham if you want a better Kevin Costner baseball movie, or watch The Natural if you want to see a better sappy baseball movie.
