Baseball, Hollywood Style

Rating: 7/10 (29 November 2011)

This is not a baseball movie for baseball purists. The first handful of times I saw this, I could not stand it because of all the baseball mistakes and implausibility.
(Ex: Like the young Roy Hobbs being right-handed while the adult was left-handed.)
But after realizing that this movie is really just a fairy tale, it is entertaining for that. Sit back and enjoy an artsy movie about baseball, set in simpler times, and without much mystery as to what will happen next.
As for me, I enjoyed 'For Love of the Game' much better.
