 You've Seen It Before February 21, 2006
1 out of 8 found this review helpful
Drawn out, and eventually boring tale of yet another overaged athlete on his way out. You can skip this one.

I know Kevin Costner can't act his way out of a paper bag. I know he produced such cinematic horrors as Waterworld, and the Postman (shudders). "Ride Postman, Ride!" I will say this film is thankfully not at those levels. Although the hollywood drama (with all the saving grabs) of the perfect game is a little much.
The film is definitely thoughtful and entertaining. I liked the baseball dialogue, and the symbolism in the film. The flashbacks, which I first thought was going to be annoying worked well. The anti-Yankee rhetoric is ok by me as well. A perfect game against thrown against the yankees by a washed up pitcher is definitely entertaining and something to get behind.
The chemistry between Costner and Kelly Preston is a tad weak in my opinion. It's hard to find that appeal these days that rivals the golden era of cinema. The worse part of the film is when he is stading outside of her home in the rain (like a stalker) when she is inside entertaining a metrosexual artsy fellow. What a loser! Anyways the film is entertaining because it deals with real life pain and drama, although it goes over the top at times. I like when Costner is sobbing at the end after the perfect game because life is often about realization and reflection, and the movie pushes home a run there.

8 out of 9 found this review helpful
this movie has to be one of the best baseball and love movies I have ever seen. It is perfect for a date because the guy can get into the baseball part and aa little bit of the love story and the girl can get into the love story and a little bit of the baseball story without feeling let down
Costner should stick to baseball and Westerns June 26, 2004
14 out of 18 found this review helpful
If Costner stuck to baseball movies and westerns he would be fine. This was a really good movie. It is actually a cross between a chick flick and a sports movie. The baseball scenes are expertly done and the other part of the storyline is expertly woven into the movie. I really enjoyed this movie and think lots of other people will too. Even if you've read the book, you should still see this movie. Just my opnion though, I could be wrong.
