5 out of 5 stars Not a baseball fan   January 18, 2004
 8 out of 8 found this review helpful

I am not a baseball fan but i can tell you this movie is really good it is really deep full of emotion. I don't know anything about the game basball i live in England but yet i was able to really enjoy it bcoz it doesn't really focus on the game but on the personal life of a successful baseball player. Brilliant buy it.

this was a great movie about a mlb pitcher, in possibly his last game, looking back on the last 5 years of his life with his gf, jane. i thought kevin costner was great.


1 out of 5 stars Not Bull Durham or Field of Dreams   December 12, 2003
 3 out of 16 found this review helpful

If you're expecting to see another heart stirring Field of Dreams or hilarious Bull Durham performance out of Kevin Costner, then don't watch this film. The movie is less a baseball movie than a relationship movie, and not a very interesting one at that. Although the movie has a few interesting moments, such as a compelling scene where Costner "gets in the zone" to pitch and turns off the crowd noise around him, most of the movie was pure oversentimental drivel.

As I recall, I fast forwarded through about the last 30 minutes of the DVD, hoping, praying that the film would somehow redeem itself with something interesting to watch. Save yourself the time on this stinker: it didn't improve...


5 out of 5 stars Costner's "perfect" as a baseball player   December 2, 2003
 2 out of 4 found this review helpful

I agree with everything in Chad Spivak's review - I think this is a great movie to watch MORE than once, but I didn't see anything mentioned about the great music that goes along with the story. I especially liked "Paint It, Black" and Garth Brook's "It Don't Matter to Me".

I have this in video, now I'll be getting it in DVD too!


5 out of 5 stars Focus, Focus, Lose out on Life   July 26, 2003
 1 out of 3 found this review helpful

For Love of the Game is one of my favorite movies of all time. Usually sports themes aren't among my favorite, but this film is about so much more than sports... it's about life. It's about figuring out what life is all about before it's too late. What's important? Why waste your best years on a game, where sports agents will throw you away before your prime? It's about love, and throwing that away for "The Love of the Game." Buy it, enjoy it and learn about focus, love and what's really important in life.
