Critic Reviews

  • Oz, eFilmCritic.com

    If Mr Baseball were a Major League team, it would be the Chicago Cubs; friendly, occasionally successful, but never likely to amount to much more than a .500 season.

  • Alex Sandell, Juicy Cerebellum

    So, that's what happened to Mr. Selleck's career!

  • Brian Mckay, eFilmCritic.com

    Stupid comedy that's insulting to both Baseball and the Japanese.

  • Scott Weinberg, eFilmCritic.com

    Screamingly unfunny baseball tripe.

    I could almost say Tom Selleck is a hero of mine, mainly due to his mustache and chest hair that are constantly finding ways to present itself to the audience, it's ridiculous and borderline impressive. Decent fish out of water film with classic cheese.

  • Jason O


    This movie wasn't funny at all, and not even that entertaining. I haven't seen many Selleck movies, but this one didn't leave a good impression. Oh well, least we see a nice naked Japanese butt take a step or two at one point.

  • xGary X


    Another lame fish out of water comedy that sees an ageing baseball star relocated to Japan. Not one cliche is left unturned.

  • danny d


    good flick

  • Curt C


    This movie doesn't offer many surprises, but Tom Selleck turns out a stellar performance.
