The Perfect Game

This is an absolutely wonderful film in every respect. Don't be thrown off by the critics. They are wrong! I went away feeling that this is one of the most enjoyable films that I have ever seen. Wheras it is an excellent "family" film, it will be enjoyed by people of all ages. Bring along a tissue or two. Some of the scenes will bring forth an overwhelming emotional rush of what those boys were able to accomplish. What is so amazing is that the story is actually true. I can't believe that the release had so little publicity and is playing in so few theaters in the US. I saw it by accident. Don't miss it. It is WONDERFUL

This dramatization of the 1957 World Little League Champions is just a terrific watch - sure, it is a little clichéd in places - but what sports movie isn't, but it has the same vibe as The Mighty Ducks and The Bad News Bears except that is based on a true story.

All in all, baseball films are nearly always good to watch, and this is no exception - the team is fun, the story is built well, the film is nicely edited, you get a ton of baseball, and the moral compass is firmly fixed to good throughout.

One of the better sports films for kids - and adults - and one that deserves a wide audience.

I went to see this movie because my daughter loves sports movies. It was completely enjoyable although a little bit clichéd.

The acting was not that good but there were so many feel good moments that I could completely forgive any faults I may have found. I even clapped at the end.

My daughter's friend was cheering as if he were actually at the game. What made this even more special is the knowledge that this "perfect" game actually happened and, along with the end credits, we got to see the actual players. This is a great movie for the whole family, and that in itself, is a great feat!

This is a very uplifting and inspiring film, with many moments that will make you cheer, laugh, and yes, tear up. Most of the acting performances are forgettable, but some of the kids are often cute and genuinely funny.

The fact that this movie tells a true story is the best thing about it. But, it's a shame that one of the greatest moments in all of sports history had to be watered down with so many hackneyed sports-movie tropes and downright maudlin scenes. And the depiction of Little League play, even for 1957, is laughably unrealistic. The fact is that players of that age, and at that world championship level, are far, far more talented than the often clumsy and awkward playing depicted in this movie.

However, don't let any of the negatives dissuade you from seeing this family friendly account of a truly amazing event that really happened.

I was fortunate to see the film, compliments of studio movie grille, and I was not disappointed.

I thought it was a classic "feel good" family movie. Yeah, it won't win any awards, but it will win over your heart.

For some that need "deeper" in a movie for it to be worthy of praise, forget a' bout' it.

It's simple and to the point, yeah, you know what's coming next, but that's alright, it's why we go the movies with our families!

Get it, watch it, enjoy it. Yes, just that simple.

I thought they did a good job of making it all look fifties. Just like the movie, simple times.
