This is definately a tear-jerker for guys. I avoided it for years because I'm not that big of a baseball fan. I also thought it all sounded a little silly and it is, but if you can get past that, it'll hook you in.

Also, I know Kevin Costner gets a bad rap for being a terrible actor, but he's been effective in some great movies....this, JFk, and Dances With Wolves. He pulls off the everyman things in this really effectively.

My grade: A.

It is intrinsically American; therefore I could not appreciate it that much.

Probably the best baseball movie.

My dad made me watch it a few times as a kid, it's been a few years, but to this day I really don't like this movie. I'm sure it doesn't help that baseball is probably my very least favorite major sport to watch.

Exactly. If they don't know how to behave, and feel OK offending others, they get their ass kicked, so they'll think next time before opening their rotten mouths.
