cwyler-21350 I read through a few of the previous reviews and have to agree with some of them. While this movie is very predictable, a little slow and doesn't have very many funny parts, the acting is very good, the story is a good one. It throws in a success story and a love story, two out of three of my favorite things in a movie. It would have been great to see more funny parts in the movie, but it's not what it was all about. While I like the fact that they had a story about two boys they brought from India to be successful pitchers here in the U.S. it reminded me of businesses that continue to outsource to other countries because they don't want to pay for the people here. However kudos to the two boys from India that became a success (movie based on a true story).

Desertman84 Million Dollar Arm is a biographical sports drama about baseball pitchers Rinku Singh and Dinesh Patel who were discovered by sports agent J.B. Bernstein after winning a reality show competition in India.It stars Jon Hamm together with Aasif Mandvi,Bill Paxton,Suraj Sharma,Madhur Mittal,Lake Bell and Alan Arkin.This Walt Disney Pictures produced film is directed by Craig Gillespie.JB Bernstein is a once-successful sports agent who now finds himself edged out by bigger, slicker competitors. He and his partner Aash will have to close their business down for good if JB doesn't come up with something fast. One night,he came up with an idea of going to India. Late one night, while watching cricket being played in India on TV, JB comes up with an idea so radical it just might work. Why not go to there and find the next baseball pitching sensation? Setting off for Mumbai with nothing but a gifted but cantankerous scout in tow, JB stages a televised, nationwide competition called "Million Dollar Arm" where 40,000 hopefuls compete before two 18- year-old finalists, Rinku and Dinesh, emerge as winners. JB brings them back to the United States to train with legendary pitching coach Tom House. The goal: get the boys signed to a major league team. Not only is the game itself difficult to master, but life in the U.S. with a committed bachelor makes things even more complicated-for all of them. While Rinku and Dinesh learn the finer points of baseball and American culture, they in turn teach JB the true meaning of teamwork and commitment. Ultimately, what began as a purely commercial venture becomes something more and leads JB to find the one thing he was never looking for at all-a family.This is definitely an inspirational sports Disney movie.It is charming to a fault and watchable as it provides inspiration to people to achieve the goals they have set in life.Also,the movie successfully manages to mix emotion and comedy to move the viewer.Overall,it definitely scores a home run as a baseball film.

edwagreen What made this movie so good was that it finally presented baseball in terms of having fun and not necessarily the money angle which has become so prevalent in this major American sport.Jon Hamm was excellent in the role of the agent who goes from seeing the big money angle to the exact opposite.He goes to India to recruit prospective pitchers for the big league in an attempt to sign them at big salaries. He finds his guys and brings them back to the U.S. but after a series of disasters brought about due to the psychological, social and cultural differences between countries, he sees them fail miserably at tryouts.It is only when he comes to see that baseball is not solely an investment,that success is achieved in the end. There were times that Hamm's facial expressions reminded me of his Don Draper of "Mad Men." There are the usual disasters, love interests and other items deemed comical, but in the end it's the human element that allows for success to be achieved.
