A LEFTY WITH JUICE

Rating: 8/10 (7 October 2018)

JB (Jon Hamm) is a sports agent down on his luck. He thinks of an idea to travel to India to obtain new talent. The aspect of having a billion new fans who want caps and jerseys gathers him a sponsor. Half the film consists of JB traveling through impoverished India holding tryouts of eager kids who can't even spell baseball. He manages to find two kids to bring back and train.
The second half continues with his formulaic relationship with his tenet, plus the trials and tribulations of training too foreigners. Alan Arkin plays the old scout in a funny predictable manner. If anything the film was tweak to make it feel like a made for TV movie. A little Bollywood enters the production during the finals. Good American-Indian fusion soundtrack.
Parental Guidance: No f-bombs, sex, or nudity.
