The Perfect Game
There seem to be more events that have turned many people into Mexico. These are the events that resulted from the poverty of Monterrey, Mexico, where a group of boys Ragheth became the first non-US baseball team to win the World Junior League championship thanks to the guidance of Clifton Collins Junior at those critical moments.

Packed with everything you'd want from an inspiring sports story. The pieces aren't put together as neatly as one would hope, but the film easily achieves the intended effect.

Anyone much older than, say, 10, will likely find the underdog saga sappy and manipulative, not to mention filled with sports movie cliches, including the following statement: "It will take a miracle to make them into a real team."

It's an unabashedly corny but occasionally stirring dramedy based on the true-life story of scrappy young baseball players from Mexico.

It's hard not to root for an underdog, especially a relentlessly optimistic one, and the reality is Game has a lot of heart. But not much in the way of legs.

The Perfect Game proves that you don't always have to reach for lofty heights to work. It's certainly not a classic. It's a simple pleasure for those times when that's all you need.

It's all stencil work without a single touch of novelty, inspiration or originality.

Director William Dear is not one to miss a sentimental beat.

A welcome addition to the expanding genre of baseball films.

[From] the second minute of the movie I knew every single thing that was going to happen and there was not a single surprise.

So overwhelmed by its own based-on-actual-events tale that it can't find the tone to tell it effectively.

Notable only for being a catalog of just about every kid-pic cliche' ever committed to film.

No ironic detachment for William Dear's latest film: It may have every cliché in the book, but The Perfect Game means everything it says.
