Not really a big box office draw, but I was pleasently surprised
with this movie. James "I did some things to Farrah Fawcett" Orr
co-wrote and directed this movie about an ordinary, average guy
named Larry Burrows who thinks his life would have been
incredibly different if he hit a homerun at a key baseball game
when he was 15. But thanks to mysterious and magical bartender
Mike, Larry gets his wish, yet soon realizes that his new life
isn't exactly as he hoped it would be.
I must say, this movie really impressed me. Critics have given
it mixed, and I must say the concept is really interesting and
pulled off well. Yes, it is a little standard, but packs enough
funny moments, drama and excellent acting to make it really
good. James Belushi (I think) was Oscar worthy for his role. Jon
Lovitz is perfect, and Linda Hamilton plus Renee Russo shine in
their roles. Michael Caine is perfect as the bartender. It's
just a good movie with a good lesson. If you've never seen, I
highly recommend you check
