1/10
A huge strike out

Warning: Spoilers
Having seen the trailers a lot for this film and looking at all the talented people involved with it, I was very excited to see The Perfect Game. I thought it looked excellent. Unfortunately, things sometimes do not go as planned. This is one of those times. Where the film goes wrong is they forget there's still racism left in the world. The film's full of racial slurs that would make even David Duke offended. The film's more down putting that uplifting like it's supposed to be. The film is based on an excellent true story that deserved much better treatment than this garbage. The talented cast has everyone from Clifton Collins JR to Cheech Marin to David Koechner. The talented cast does what they can with a lousy, forced script, but none of them can seem to overcome the limited amount they have to work with. Collins, JR, Marin and Koechner are all very disappointing here, not showing to anyone that they're talented people, which they are. While I did not have the same mad why did I see this reaction I had walking out of something like Leap Year, The Bounty Hunter, or Alice In Wonderland, I was perfectly not happy I spent the time and money I did to see this film, and I think you should definitely save your time and money and sit this one out.
