I remember watching this movie in English class, during my senior year of high school with great fondness. I sat next to my best friend and we loved every moment of this movie. As I sit here and think about it now, I realize that our appreciation for this film had probably very little to do with the fundamentals of good movie-making (ex: acting, direction, musical score), but can instead be attributed to the fact that it displays friendship in one of its purest forms. The film is an illustrated test of loyalty, and what being friends as an adolescent is all about. It made me appreciate my best friend that much more, and in the end, I left class feeling a little bit better about being a kid.
I still remember the first time i saw this movie, and how hard i cried. It was the first time in a while that a film had brought up such emotion, and it felt great. This film in no way requires the viewer to have any interest in the sport of baseball, but i believe that a love for Americana greatly helps the movie to envelop you, as it did me. I wanted to be there, I wanted to be with the characters, I wanted to run on a baseball diamond, ...but most of all, i wanted my father to be there. An honestly amazing film with great emotion, some cheesy lines, great scenes, and wonderful emotion that all goes well together. This one is truly "tops."
