jon-15581 Okay, the come-on notes says this is an "intramural" game, but it's supposed to be a playoff game in some unidentified summer league. The players on both sides act like freshmen in high school or worse, but they all appear to be at least 24. Who ever heard guys beyond little league doing chants and cat-calls during a game. I guess the guys are older so they can say the F' word a lot, and go on about how hard life is beyond puberty. I kept watching it to see if there was a message someplace or some surprise ending like having a girlfriend pitch the last out. No, the message was "keep on trying." And the closing shots appear to be from the author/producer's little league or high school game. Oh well, keep on trying as there are a lot better sports movies out there.

antibodytherapeutics Coming from down under we do not see much baseball on TV. I have fallen in love with the game via movies such as Bull Durham and now subscribe to Minor league baseball TV so I can watch the Bulls play during the season. I watch other teams also as I work from home and have it on during working hours and I just love everything about the game including the 7 inning stretch. This movie just cracks me up it is funny and reminds me of playing rugby league at a lower level in Australia when I was much younger. There are also serious moments but best of all is the lifelong friendships created via team sports. This movie shows the funny and serious sides of amateur sports and is a great watch. I am disappointed with one reviewer here who seems only interested in promoting their own site than giving a true account of this great film. If someone feels the urge to want to punch everyone involved because they dislike a movie I think they should see a professional as they have deeper issues and I am speaking of viewsonfilm you need help of some kind or maybe "you know some people just need f$%king medicine they do"

karenosterman My son and I have watched this movie over and over again. We absolutely love it. The entire movie keeps us laughing. It has a serious side when it comes to the actual love of the game and what parents and children go through when baseball is such a big part of their lives. Joe Mazzello did an excellent job directing and acting in this film. Murray and Vinnie kept us in stitches along with all the other cast members. Such a fun movie to watch. Obviously, Joe's brother John should have been drafted. We researched his batting average and all we could say was "Wow!". Great movie, love love love it.

viewsonfilm.com Baseball is America's pastime. It was first played in 18th century England. Sadly, it is depicted in a rather juvenile fashion via 2016's Undrafted (my latest review).Undrafted is about a crass, intramural team trying to win a meaningless, seven inning game. Supposedly, it is based on a true story involving the director's brother (John Mazzello). Real-life Johnny boy failed to make the Major League Baseball draft. If this is an admiral tribute to him, well then you can just call me the veritable Cal Ripken Jr. So OK, I've seen other, similar "play ball" movies like For Love of the Game and Summer Catch. This is indeed worse. Oh and um, Richard Linklater called. He says he wants his inclination of male bonding back.Anyway, writer/director Joseph Mazzello (he's also an actor) fashions a script that might look good on paper but for some reason, deems these dudes to be incredibly annoying. They don't talk and act like actual human beings. And hey, they won't and can't shut up. Players on the bench prattle about the Backstreet Boys. Tyler Hoechlin portrays a starting pitcher yet doesn't replicate anything near what said pitcher's form is supposed to look like. A center fielder and his teammates go psychotic even though their team is winning a slight, pivotal game. A hitter argues a pitch that is clearly in the strike zone. Finally, James Belushi appears briefly as a failed, draftee's father (is Belushi that hard up for an acting job). In jest, most of the sequences in Undrafted are in the dugout, separated badly from what is really going on in the field. Man I'm so glad this flick was free by way of On Demand.All in all, Undrafted is like a more volatile Everybody Wants Some!! It's overacted with scenes that are edited quickly only to die on arrival. The only difference between this film and "Wants Some!!", is that its proceedings don't include partying, drugs, alcohol, or the notion of getting laid. Heck, Undrafted sucks period no matter how you wanna analyze it. I wanted to punch everyone involved. No one wins this cinematic game of baseball and you know what, no one should. That includes the producers, the cast, and the filmmaker (Joe Mazzello) who excitedly (and naively) showed this thing three years after it was made. Undrafted is one of 2016's worst and I don't think it ever got released (in theaters) in the first place. Good call ump. A strike out or a last ditch, nicked foul ball is my commentating assessment . Rating: 1 star.
