 Another Baseball Story February 19, 2000
9 out of 11 found this review helpful
If you love baseball this movie is for you. All of you that played the game or coached can identify with some part of the movie. The director went to extra efforts to make the baseball plot believable.The players are real players and various scences are taken from real events (baseball hitting an outfielder on the head a la Conseco). Relationships in the movie are portrayed in fashion that is agreeable. Casting is superb. Great entertainment for the money!
 Where's the baseball movie? February 17, 2000

I was ready to watch a baseball movie and a love story broke out! Kevin, puhleeze, one genre at a time. Costner at his self serving best in both sport and love. Seems this guy can't figure out a theme for this film. If you want lots of angst and little curve ball, this film is for you. If not, rent "The Natural" still the best fictional baseball movie ever made.
Love of the game, or the girl? February 11, 2000

FOR LOVE OF THE GAME takes you inside the mind of a star baseball pitcher as he plays in what could be the last game of his career. When I saw the picture at the movies it made me think of the book HEAT, the autobiography of pro pitcher Dwight Gooden. FOR LOVE OF THE GAME and HEAT revolve around thoughts of family and career as the man on the mound, considered washed up by some, finds himself in what could be a no-hit game.Gooden had his dying father on his mind as he was getting the ball past the bats on that day in 1996. FOR LOVE OF THE GAME's Billy Chapel, played well by Kevin Costner, had thoughts of his late parents. But unfortunately, the film puts too much emphasis on Chapel's girlfriend, who may be ending their relationship. Aren't girlfriend stories for teenage boys, not 30-something adult men? Each time FOR LOVE OF THE GAME's baseball sequences start to engross you, it cuts to flashbacks about the woman the pitcher has loved so much through the years that, uh, he never married her? See FOR LOVE OF THE GAME on free or cable TV, where Costner, supporting actor John C. Reilly and the exciting baseball sequences (the director is Sam Raimi of EVIL DEAD fame) make it worth a look.
