It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

The IRS is after widower Harry Connick Jr. (as Tripp Spence). Since he doesn't have the money, Mr. Connick runs away to Las Vegas, with athletic young son Shawn Salinas (as Derrick). They darken their blond hair, to become "Glen Ryan" and his son "Mickey". Clear-glassed spectacles assist in the disguise. When questioned about the lack of prescription strength, Connick says his son is "slightly" nearsighted. Apparently, there are no school nurses in Las Vegas.One of the benefits of the new identities is that young Salinas gets to remain a 12-year-old, because "Mickey" is twelve - so, father Connick can play him in "Little League" another year. A better idea would have been for Connick to find his son an older identity. But, many of the other "Little League" kids look older, especially the Cubans. If they are taking steroids, it isn't shown. "Mickey" is curiously immoral, for a "family film". But, Salinas performs the title role well.*** Mickey (4/30/04) John Grisham, Hugh Wilson ~ Harry Connick Jr., Shawn Salinas, Michelle Johnson

This is truly the best "Baseball" movie I've seen. That would apply to any movie made about a sport, be it football, hockey or something else. Writer John Grisham and director Hugh Wilson have put together something special for movie fans who are tired of the usual Hollywood fare that focuses on sexual immorality and violence. The acting is excellent, and the story certainly holds your interest. The extras on the DVD by the way (interviews with Grisham and Wilson) give nice insight as to why and how the movie came about. This is a movie many will want to see again in the near future. One thing that was obvious is that the young boys in the film are all good ball players. It gives it an honest and real feeling.

I have read a few reviews, written by IMDb members, regarding this movie and some weren't positive. I believe this to be a wonderful movie with a great cast, a superb script, great camera work, and nice directing. I love a good baseball movie and the Little League World Series is a fascinating time of the year. I can remember my own days and my former dreams of Little League stardom. Harry Connick Jr does a wonderful job as the father. Even with all the shortcomings of the father, the audience member defiently knows that he loves his son. I could have done without the little love story sewn very obviously into the middle of the movie. Overall, I would recommend this movie to anyone who loves sports. I think this also qualifies as a family movie with a good moral message. Check it out!!!

"Mickey" a very strong feel good heartwarming movie that got away. This movie is currently in limited release. It is about a father who just wishes his son could make it to "The Little League World Series." There is just one problem, The IRS is looking for the father who is suffering in debt, and Mickey is to old to play in Little League. Solution move away, and change your identity.The movie starts out a little too fast, and things are thrown together really fast, but be patient it's worth your time. This movie is currently in the middle Tennesse area. If it's not in theaters in your area rent this movie in your spare time. My take on the movies a very strong 8/10 !!!!!!!!!!!!!
