Ashley Crow, Billy L. Sullivan, Dennis Farina

When the owner of the hapless Minnesota Twins (talk about art imitating life) dies and leaves his grandson (Luke Edwards) the team in his will, the 12-year-old decides to manage the team himself. Asid...( read more  read more... )e from the obvious headline value of his move, no one seems to like the idea and the kid finds himself battling for his fledgling managerial career. Eventually, however, he wins the confidence of his favorite player (Timothy Busfield) and before long has the team playing like kids: for the fun of it, rather than the money. (Now there's a concept.) Though billed as a family movie, the saccharine level is high enough to scare off most adults. But kids, particularly baseball fans, will eat it up, as much for the appearances of baseball stars like Ken Griffey Jr. and Paul O'Neill as for the plot itself. --Marshall Fine

    Man I just erased my review for this movie, it was a good one too. Talking about how this movie focuses on the technical side of baseball rather than making a spoof cheesy film like Rookie of the Year, which is still enjoyable. Hollywood loved baseball movies in the early to mi...( read more)d nineties. This movie was the least popular because it relied on the analysis of the game, and most people nowadays don't like baseball. I liked this movie more because it took a smart serious take on sports movies.

    This is good, hilarious and clever family baseball movie since The Sandlot. There were plenty of funny scenes that adults, rather than children, could relate to. It was well done and well acted.
