Boys of Summer

I would recommend this movie to anybody who appreciates films with depth, color, and meaning.

Watching the father-son journey make its way across the country, I actually found myself routing for them like I would my favorite baseball team.

There were moments when I wanted to cheer and there were moments I wanted to cry.

I've recommended this film to many people I know and I would recommend it to you.

It's simply a beautiful piece of work.

This film touched my heart and brought back memories of sharing good times with my parents. As a film patron, I look forward to the general release of this film, as the story is entertaining as well as educational. The wide release would not only raise knowledge about Parkinson Disease but would raise funds for Parkinson research. The every day trials were fun to watch, the sense of humor of both men was priceless. There is much to be learned from these fellows and the way they handled disappointment and triumphs. The public embraced them and that was heartwarming. It is America at its finest -baseball- as our national pastime. And being able to share it with someone you love is priceless. My wish for all would be for everyone to experience one day with a parent and enjoy the day. This film celebrates the America in all of us.

From Phoenix Film Festival viewing - elevates baseball from current morass and brings it back to wholesome status. Father and son odyssey caught merrily visiting and yukking up nations baseball and life.

Film covers the journey of a loving son and father visiting 30 ballparks, Negro League Museum, MLB Hall of Fame, and Field of Dreams Much was offered along the way.

Parkinson's disease was the cause of the timing of the baseball experience delayed by normal life until fathers' diagnosis. Audiences are very fortunate to be included in this experience from a well executed and personally entertaining perspective.

This father and son duo plus their casts of new friends kept the audience interested and entertained with apple pie humor as they criss-crossed the country sometimes with the help of fans, the baseball parks personnel, and the Parkinson's groups.

This film helps to revive and create feelings for baseball and the Field of Dreams original feeling.

This film promotes baseball and its place in America - with the realization that life is better for its existence.

I had the pleasure of seeing this movie at the 2006 Phoenix Film Festival. It is a heart-warming, funny, touching story about the relationship between a father and a son, and their journey to baseball fields all around the country one summer. The father has Parkinson Disease and one of the purposes of the film is to raise awareness of the disease. All proceeds from the film help fund Parkinson Research. The movie depicts the love a son has for his father, and their mutual love of baseball. This movie is a must-see for anyone who loves baseball or has a loved one dealing with a chronic illness. "Boys of Summer" is one of the most touching films I have ever seen, it is not to be missed!

This is an extraordinary film, made on a shoestring but looking far better than that. See it if you love baseball. See it if you love road movies. See it if you have Parkinson's, or love someone who has Parkinson's...for that matter, see it if you just know someone who has it, and chances are you do. My husband has PD, and we saw the film as it was honored with closing the 2006 Phoenix Film Festival. A huge Parkinson's community attended, as did - I imagine - regular baseball fiends. It's a movie of love and laughs and tears, not afraid of frank emotion but equally unafraid of understated humor and flat-out human sweet-but-sexy openness. Take your kids if they love baseball. There's so much to learn here. Take them, especially, if someone in your family has PD. Just go. Support this little, big film.
