Nothing exciting happens

Rating: Null/10 (8 March 2003)

At best, I would say this makes a very average TV movie. It is boring and too long. And I am sure some of the scenes in the movie did not happen in real life. Like when Jimmy stops his truck on a road at night to throw a baseball past a speed radar. And the radar just happens to have a few burnt out lights just in the right place to make a 9 look like a 7. Things like that ruin a movie that is based on a real life story because obviously that was just written for the movie and didn't really happen. And the whole relationship between Jimmy and his father was just to much of a cliche for these types of films. Father and son don't get along. Father doesn't support son to follow foolish dreams. Son proves father wrong and they hug at the end.
FINAL VERDICT: I don't recommend this unless you are a baseball fan. It is too boring for the average movie watcher.
