I enjoyed this film a great deal. In short it did what a film should do, (1) absorb you into its place (2) entertain (3) make you think. How did this film accomplish this? (1)Relatively genuine setting, characters, scenery. (2) Plot moved along swiftly and kept you engaged. Characters were believable. (3)Characters and setting made you think about life in their world.

This film had no "stars" to get in the way of itself which is a nice change of pace. The acting was solid, the plot was good albeit reminiscent of "Of mice and men". Parts of the plot were not spelled out for the audience allowing you to draw some of your own conclusions. In terms of where the movie could have been improved I would say some of the technical cinematography. While there were many beautiful shots that helped establish mood and setting some of the fades/ transitions were a little weak.

To summarize the strengths of this film far outweighed the weaknesses. I would probably have selected 7.5 given the choice, but chose 8 instead of 7.

Perhaps one of the worst films ever and that says a lot today. This film was not only offensive to film making but also baseball. I knew this film would be bad, but I thought maybe a few laughs, kind of like what I expected and got from Date Movie. But oh no, this thing is flat out terrible. This may be funny to 13 to 15 year olds with a below average IQ. Sadly this seems to be what most films target audience is today. Again, I knew this would be bad, anything with this cast would be. I will however give the movie credit for being only 80 minutes. Is this really what its come to? I am truly amazed that this film is rated a 5 + overall.
