Reviews


75
Portland Oregonian - Diana Abu-Jaber
More of a bunt than a home run.
70
Los Angeles Times - Kenneth Turan
Those who have even a small soft spot for baseball's soothing rhythms will be hard-pressed to resist it.
50
Christian Science Monitor - David Sterritt
This sentimental drama is wildly uneven as it switches between ballpark scenes, which are very involving, and romantic episodes, which are badly overplayed.
50
L.A. Weekly - Paul Malcolm
The film's larger, surprisingly mature emotional rhythms are strong enough to pull it through.
50
Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Schwarzbaum
Costner's determination to avoid change keeps this baseball movie at a low line drive when it might have knocked one into the bleachers.
