Formulaic, Cliched and a waste of 2 hours.

Rating: Null/10 (31 August 2002)

Basically this movie is a rehash of many other stories all mashed together. The cliches are so blatant and the storylines so worn out. Here's some of the storylines, lets see if you've seen them before: 1)The little team that could 2)The dad that didn't follow his own dreams, and won't let the son follow his. 3)Old timer gets a new chance 4)Does "The Wife" support this dream or will family matters get in the way?
And how about those cliches? Littlest kid speaks the wisest, the team that beat them badly at the beginning of the season is the team that stands in the way of a championship at the end, 3 old guys that hang out at a store playing cards and dispensing wisdom.... At one point they actually had the manager of the Minor league team sitting in his office *** Tying fly fishing lures under a magnafying glass!!! ***
I'm surprised it's getting such a high (7.5) rating here on IMDB. You guys should see through this stuff by now.
2/10 and it's only getting that much because I love Rachel Griffiths.
