Great story about two Major League Pitiching prospects in the Dominican Republic. Change Up offer's the viewer a great snapshot not only into the trials of young ballplayers in the DR trying to get out of the DR, but also focuses on the driving force behind their desired exodus; providing for their families. As a baseball fan I found the movie very interesting as it portrays these off-shore prospects as fair game to the highest bidder. Unfortunately, the reality is that for most, baseball remains just a game through little league, and for these teenagers quickly becomes the business of survival. As I found myself interested in the Baseball aspects, I caught my wife teary-eyed and focused on the human-side of the story, which the director's seamlessly integrate into the Baseball bravado. This movie offers the grit of 'Hoop Dreams' and the humanity of 'When We Were Kings', the viewer finds themself rooting for the young men to achieve their dreams.
