The Perfect Game


The Perfect Game
April 2010

I saw this movie and watched the trailer on my iPhone with the Flixter ap (which is my favorite) and was excited to find out this little indie film was showing at my local theater.

Its based on the true story of the first ever little league team from Monterrey, Mexico in 1960 traveling to the Little League World Series. There is some back story to the team so I won't go into too much detail but I enjoyed this movie. The kids on the team were great if you can get over their horrible Mexican which got on my nerves. It was a heart warming movie. Clifton Collins Jr was the lead. Along with Sam Worthington I suggest you put Collins Jr. on your radar...he is great in everything he does. Cheech Marion and Louis Gossett Jr. also were great casting decisions.

I think this is a great movie to watch with your kids. Heart warming story and you might shed a single tear at the end.

Rating: ★★½
