Trivia

Hugh Wilson points out in the commentary that because the film was shot using Virginia for Las Vegas, they shot down and shot up to avoid showing the trees and greenery from Virginia that wouldn't be typical in Las Vegas. See more »

Goofs

In the LLWS Final against Cuba, the Cuban pitcher, while up to bat, hits a home run in the first inning. In the original shot his foot is still inside the box but in the overhead shot (01:21:13) his front foot is in the opposite batter's box and going by LL rule he should be out. See more »

"Mickey" was well worth waiting for.
22 May 2004 | by (Central Point, OR) – See all my reviews

I had the opportunity to listen to John Grisham in Ottawa Ontario, Canada in April 2001 discuss his upcoming project "Mickey". Now, in April 2004 in Virginia Beach, Virginia, I was able to see the movie and again listen to John Grisham at a private screening along with the Director Hugh Wilson. "Mickey" was well worth waiting for.

Using Little League Baseball as a background, the Plot centers on a father/son relationship and the difficult choices they have to make. The drive of "Mickey" is focused on the choices made by the Father (Harry Connick Jr.) and how they affect not only his son, but the lives of the team his son plays for.

This is not a "Hollywood" movie. It is far superior to the high tech improbable entertainment that "Hollywood" churns out these days.

Hugh Wilson deftly guides this fine character study that came from the heart of writer John Grisham. Harry Connick Jr. gives his best performance to date (Deserving a nod for Best Actor) and is aided by the fine supporting cast. Mike Starr, as the coach, is one of those character actors ala Jack Elam, Harry Dean Stanton, Kevin Pollock....who you recognize, but just can't remember the name to go with the face, is deserving of a nomination for Best Supporting Actor as he pulls out terrific performance by 1st timer Shawn Salinas (Mickey) and Harry Connick Jr. Michelle Johnson (Blame it on Rio) also contributes to the angst displayed by HCJ.

This is a fine family movie to be enjoyed by all.
