Critic Reviews
-
Andrew Barker, Variety
A brotherly love tale substantially weightier than its baseball road-trip premise might indicate.
-
Michael Ordoña, Los Angeles Times
This sincere, nostalgic, brothers-on-the-road movie has its strong points but sadly fails to do what Clemente so famously did in his final at-bat - finish on a high note.
-
Ernest Hardy, L.A. Weekly
It's a tapestry of cinematic clichés in the service of fictionalized memoir, pushed just past serviceability by some great old footage of Clemente and affecting performances by Morgan, Culkin and Holly.
