no balls

Rating: 4/10 (28 January 2003)

The tagline for this film is: "The most important thing in life is showing up". I would change 1 letter and add a couple more words to make it: "The most important thing in life is throwing up when you have to".
Well, I had to after seeing this piece of garbage. My oh my, the horror, the horror! Words cannot express how extremely bad this film is. Here, I only want to highlight two things: (i) A gorgeous, white, single female teacher in a ghetto. I almost fell off my chair when they brought this on. And why are these gorgeous women always single. You will never hear:
MAN (e.g., Keanu Reeves): Er, hi, I'm Pete. Er, uhm, are you single?
PRETTY WOMAN: Why do you want to know?
MAN: Well, er, I would like to ask you to go out with me tonight.
WOMAN: I can do without that. I already have a boyfriend. Bye.
(ii) Why should we care so much for THEIR baseball team? Are all the other teams made up of wealthy uptown boys? I don't think so! So why shouldn't they win? What would be so terrible about that?
I'm not going to waste any more words on it.
Rating from the Dutch judge: 4 (out of 10).
