Does anyone else think that Dennis Quaid is a B grade Harrison Ford? I get the two confused all the time. Quaid seems to favor kids movies though, and this one is just that.A film about a guy that missed his chance at the majors and ends up a high school baseball coach in the middle of nowhere. He makes a deal with this team that if they win the conference he will try out for a pro team again. With three kids and an opportunity at a new job he has to make the decision if he wants to give it one more shot.
I really liked this movie, but it got way too cheesy and over emotional. At almost two hours and fifteen minutes at least 20 minutes of bs at the end could have been cut out. This film is however appropriate for all ages... if they can make it though the whole movie.
My favorite part of the movie is a spoiler... so don't read this paragraph if you really think a kids movie like this can be ruined. He gets to pitch in the majors at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington, Texas. This was especially cool for me because I've been to this ballpark at least 25 times over the last 5 years. Being a Rangers fan I love to see them beat up on a team in a movie, and seeing the locker rooms and bullpen on film was really cool. Might be worth a watch, depends on if you like this type of movie.
