I don't know about this one.... (Diehard baseball fan - huge Disney fan)


So I love all the Disney sports films mostly. The true story and inspiration. Miracle, Secretariat, Remember the Titans, The Rookie all some of my favorites.

This one is hard to get behind though. It's really just kinda silly to me. And it was a failed experiment. Neither of the kids worked out or made it to the big-leagues. What is so great about a failure? They didn't come close to excelling in American baseball, not even making it past rookie ball.

I wanted to like this and wanted to like this but it's tough.

It's almost like this is a comedy more than anything else. Like hey look at this agent who is tormented and these Indian boys who are so out of their element. There isn't that feel-good story that is real inspiration. If there is, I really don''t see it.
