duke-197's rating
This movie isn't about baseball any more than Star Trek is about how to operate a space ship. Baseball is merely the background, like music is in the back ground.
As in Eastwood's other most successful recent movies this is a story about relationships, the meaning of life and the bitter sweet of partial redemption.
So if you enjoyed "Million Dollar Baby", "The Unforgiven" and "Grand Torino" you will enjoy this movie just as much. The one dramatic element that isn't in this movie, that was in those others, is due to the script and not some failing by the director.
This was a great first time effort by Lorenzo. Clint Eastwood has some really, really touching scenes when he's not in his grumpy old man mode. Unfortunately, since people still associate him with action he probably will not get the recognition for that acting, or Lorenzo for directing those scenes.

A bunch of us from our production group went to see this at a recent festival, and I must say this is one of the best Indie movies I've seen in a long time.
The concept is brilliant! I can see everyone saying "I wish I had thought of that." Bob did a wonderful job writing and directing a script that works on many different levels. This will appeal to everyone from the male SciFi demographic to the female love story group.
The actors/actresses play very well off of each other through out. This piece moves quickly and keeps everyone guessing. You have to pay attention and even the credit roll is important.
This deserves to win awards, and it has been. Looking at some of the poor ratings received here and that was back in 2007, which is before the final cut. I think if those people saw it now they'd change their vote.
If you get a chance, I highly recommend you see this one.
