Better Than Expected

Rating: 7/10 (28 April 2014)

A trio of guys try and make up for missed opportunities in childhood by forming a three-player baseball team to compete against standard children baseball squads.
When you have a film written by Nick Swardson with production from Happy Madison, you have to expect a fair amount of crude and childish humor. And this film delivers that with boogers, flatulence and midget jokes. But there is also some heart here; as well as the crude level never sinking to the depths of "American Pie"...
Jon Heder is cursed to forever be known for "Napoleon Dynamite", and frankly he is probably not a strong actor -- he seems to be Napoleon here again, just dressed differently. That may not be a bad thing, as he does perform that role well. Heck, Rob Schneider is pretty much always the same guy and that has worked for him for decades...
