On Saturday afternoon I saw Billy Bob Thornton on TV in his usual role of an alcoholic with a bunch of pretty tough kids around him. So I thought that I’d watch this movie, that it might be good. And it was. I didn’t even notice that the movie was about baseball. Honestly, the bunch of kids who make up the movie and the drunk Billy Bob toughening them with his coaching skills made me laugh out loud a few times. It’s nothing special, but I couldn’t imagine a better movie for a Saturday afternoon.
