A Very Very underrated film

Rating: 10/10 (4 June 2006)

"Game" is a truly entertaining movie. Part sports story, part soap opera, it is more true to life than many "heart warming" films every accomplish. Costner communicates genuine emotion as he has previously only in "Dances with Wolves", "Field of Dreams" and "Bull Durham". I wonder if the poor box office "Game" produced was a backlash from the extremely schmaltzy, poorly directed and generally lousy "Message in a Bottle" This movie deserved better. It was very well directed and filmed, and the chemistry between Costner and Preston was exceptional. Since box office was disappointing, I believe this film should and will become a DVD classic.
