The Perfect Game

Our kids really enjoyed the movie and were impressed with the story and all the adversities the kids had to endure to achieve the final goal. Truly motivational for kids. It is a great example for kids to start learning about setting goals for themselves and work towards those goals and deserving glory after the achievement.

Faith is another important element in the movie that is a great valuable lesson for kids. Its a great depicted true story that its definitely worth to watch it with the whole family.

I watch the "premier-event" live on Mexico television (it took place in Monterrey in Fundidora "Horno 3") which is the old furnace in Fundidora (steel Mill). Actors and real players from the story gathered to watch the movie with other VIP people who walked the red carpet. In the interview before the premiere an actual player from the Monterrey Team (that played in 1957) was interviewed and mentioned that most of them did not know that they were playing a perfect game. At the end of the game they learned this fact. he ended his interview saying: "We sure played each and every play as it was the most important play of the game". His comment hooked me and made me watch the movie.

Truly inspirational movie worth watching!!! Billy Bremer L. Monterrey, Mexico

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.

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!

The movie has a nice plot, and any intense baseball fan will love the history of the story (I'm a huge baseball fan, yet I had never heard of the 1957 Little League Champions before I watched this film). The acting is OK; the visuals are nice. The only criticism I have is that the movie gets way too sappy and syrupy at times.
