j-camarena99 I'm really proud to see this quality movies from my country .. first "y tu mama tambien" .. and now this, we are doing it right without any fancy special effects. The only thing i would definitely change is the name of the movie .. what a waste .. they spoiled the movie with that .. I would loved to see the movie without expecting the final.I will definitely show this to my friends without saying them the name of the movie.Some people are saying there are a lot of stereotypes .. yeah, there are, but are funny, i think that's kinda the purpose of the director. Actors are good, not perfect but good enough to have a great time :).Really, one of the best movies i have seen during this year .. and i see a lot of "quality" movies, i skip stuff like avengers, etc..
Alexej This is an absolutely perfect movie. Everything in it is perfect, from the story (based on a true story) all the way to the actors. This film is a rare treasure, such as only comes out once in many, many years. Truly moving, well acted, well filmed, well directed. A must see for all, young and old.I have just finished watching the Blu-ray version of this movie. I am glad to make it a permanent part of my collection, a movie I will watch over and over, for many years to come.If you have not seen it yet, don't walk, run to get it. Don't just rent it, buy it. You won't regret it.
Tony Heck "They weigh 35 pounds less and are about 6 inches shorter, but in every other way they are like the American kids." The unbelievable true story about a little league team from Mexico with dreams of playing in the little league world series. The movie starts with Cesar (Collins Jr.) being released from the St. Louis Cardinals and moving back to Mexico. A group of kids who love baseball recruit him to be their coach. When they are finally approved to get a official little league team their journey begins. This is a fantastic movie. While I'm sure liberties were taken, this is a movie so unbelievable that it if weren't true it would be way too cheesy to be good. As it is though, this movie is a little hokey in some parts, but the fact that it's true makes it OK. For those that know the story behind this it will be very enjoyable to you. For those that don't I won't give anything away but do yourself a favor and watch this movie. Overall, a very touching baseball movie that is good for the whole family. A real like "Sandlot". I really like it, but I also am a sucker for sports movies. I give it an A-.Would I watch again? - I think I would *Also try - Chasing 3000 & Field Of Dreams
mdixon this isn't a good movie, it seems as if it's made by someone that's seen all the archetypal feel-good, rags-to-riches movies then tried his hand at making one without understanding how the good ones actually work. in this genre "the blind side" is fantastic, "rudy" superb, even "the sandlot" is head and shoulders above this.the main problem with this movie is that it has the gruff embittered coach who didn't really want to be, check, the grandfatherly advice giver, check, a side love interest, check, impoverished kids who want to beat the odds, check - but when strung together as things we want to cheer for it falls completely flat. everything is too shallow.I mean I know as viewers we're supposed to do xyz at abc but the movie's job is to lead us to those points which make us want to reflexively cheer. this movie seems to use those recognizable spots simply as the indication that "ok audience, here's where you cheer". that's not how it works. things in this movie seem to just happen for no real reason except the feel-good format requires them. the build-up scenes seem disjointed/incomplete so there's no build-ups, the pay-offs ("hurray" "cheer" "you go!") appear out of nowhere making them utterly unsatisfying because they were unexpected.I had very little expectation other than to watch something fun and marginally gratifying for a couple hours but even with such a low bar this movie fails. I should add that I could only take a little over half of this movie but in fairness how many times can one watch something lousy saying "this stinks, I hope it gets better; this stinks, I hope it gets better; this stinks... the end"?
