i liked it a lot

Rating: 6/10 (25 July 2005)

I liked this movie.Yes,its about a baseball little league,yes it has the usual "lets be a team and win" attitude,but its very well acted by these kids and the dialog sounds real,also its not concentrated only on the kids.
Its more like what the kids get to mean to this guy,who is sort of a loser,and doesn't actually care much about baseball or anything else.
I thought it was well acted,surprisingly good for Keanu Reeves who is not one of my favorite actors,but he seems inspired in this movie. I thought it was very well directed and the whole ghetto setting seems disturbingly realistic.It passes its social message in a simple,direct way without preaching.
I recommend it to anyone who is interested in a low key likable movie.
