Stano

Not a bad film about the mistakes of youth and the regret that follows with the game of baseball playing in the backdrop.

The film feels low budget and the editing of the film is pretty poor but if you ignore that you'll be pleasantly surprised by the overall films message. The film can feel a bit long at times but again that could have been fixed by a better editing process. Joe Manganiello is good in his role. Some really good baseball scenes that will entertain any baseball fan.

Note- If you are a New York Yankees fan, you'll love the imagery and cameos throughout the film.

Also great cameo by Former San Francisco Giants Closer Brian Wilson - Who for some reason is Uncredited in this film.

Im gonna call this the Rocky of baseball. Anybody who rates this a 1 or 2 has no patience or no heart. Awesome movie and I hate baseball

This was an okay film to watch at home when there's nothing better to watch. As the title suggests it IS slow burn, knowing nothing about baseball made it interesting though I figure had I loved baseball it wouldn't have done anything for me as there wasn't enough baseball action to be worth the praise. Otherwise it was a fair watch.

So, look, this movie isn't going to win an Oscar. But, if you have a heart and meet it on it's own terms, you might just find the message in this movie. Manganiello and Vergara have a genuine chemistry. And there's enough in the story to make you believe in second chances... if you give it a chance.

My husband and I love sports movies. This is my first review because I was shocked by the low rating. We both loved this movie. It was slow at times but never boring. A very good, clean movie that told a good story. We only rewatch certain movies every year and this will be in our rotation. My husband loves baseball and I hate baseball but we both stayed up too late to watch the rest! This has 4.9 IMDB rating Super good!!!
