The Perfect Game (2009)
not what expected, but good overall
THIS CONTAINS SPOILERS. SPOILERS ARE IN PARANTHESES. i.e. (((they all died))). That was an example, they didn't die. I started this movie, thinking that it was like a Mexican version of sandlot; obviously, it is not. I was ready to laugh my guts out, but I quickly switched modes as soon as I saw what it was really like. Of course there were some funny moments. The perfect game is about a kid and a man (who previously worked for the St. Louis Cardinals) start a ragtag baseball team in a little Mexico town. They decide to join a great little league to show anything is possible. They defeat the odds and make their way to the top; but not without obstacles. The kids on the team were sweet and lovable people. I especially loved when (((at the restaurant a black kid had to sit at a table away from his team. When the Mexican kids saw this, they were very confused. Finally, one of them seemed to understand and he stood right up and sat with the lonely kid.))) My heart almost exploded, it was so sweet. Anyway, this is a great movie for the whole family, but younger children would probably get bored with it. The beginning was a bit slow, of course I was waiting for a 'Squints' to pop up. 8/10
