All Square

I really liked this movie. Great actors cast , good story. Funny at times

An engaging slice of life story -- thoroughly entertaining! Enjoy.

John (Michael Kelly) is a bookie whose black-market business is being severely undercut by online gambling and the unwillingness of his clients to pay him the money they owe. So he is deciding to bet on local Little League games.

"All Square" hits too many familiar beats to be memorable, also it remains low to the ground for the most part not to mention that it doesn't succeed on the humor front - probably because of the director John Hyams, who is an odd choice for this film 'cos of his previous involvement in the action genre ("Dragon Eyes", "Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning"). With a larger budget, "All Square" could have been more of a cinematic thriller with twists and turns at every corner. Instead, it's a smaller-focused feature film that serves as a character drama study. Basically, while "All Square" is not an entirely enjoyable ride, it's all a bit too thin. 6+/7-

The main character is well written and played by Michael Kelly. He's engaging the movie and you won't be left out. Strong performance are followed by others as well. The screenplay and story is interesting as well. I think the bad reviews are from those who think this is an allout comedy. This doesn't mean the movie doesn't have fun moments. The beauty in this movie is how it keeps you engaged and shows the nice things you want to see.

Expected to turn it off 20-30mins in. But actually a fun solid flick. Worth watching.
