very under-rated film

Rating: 8/10 (16 May 2002)

One sunny afternoon, a man handed me a flier asking me if I would like to see a free screening of a movie. Who was I to say no??? The movie was Hardball. As first I was a little hesitant. I like some of the work that Keanu has done but I can't say that I liked all of it. Hardball was a pleasant surprise. The boys made me laugh, the story made me want to cry and at one point I did. I really do think that Keanu surprised me and made me reconsider my views on his abilities. Given the right material and good Direction, the man can act. One scene literally brought my friends and I to tears. I would recommend this movie to just about anyone.
