JinRoz For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!
BallWubba Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.
Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Josephina Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
silk2128 This show was well written, believable and very well shot. The music was exciting and the stakes felt real. The cast is fantastic and Dan Fogelman really makes us root for Ginny Baker to succeed and for Zack Morris with a beard and the less grumpy dad from the Wonder Years to win!
MandyN Just finished binge watching whole season and loved it!!!!! Engaged initially not expecting a "this could happen some day" story rather more of corny and predictable one. I am a female athlete, a baseball fan and, know a bit about dugout/clubhouse/road trips shenanigans and stories. I found the show to be fabulous and so very entertaining!! You don't have to be a true baseball fan to enjoy and be entertained but... if you love baseball you will appreciate so much more things like; retaliation from a pitcher hitting a batter and how it will all go down, behaviors around a possible no hitter in progress, missing lucky nasty t-shirt, etc. The struggles of being replaced due to injury and fighting to get your position back. The sometimes incomprehensible journey Latin players go through and how it defines the emotional shields they carry with them. I could go on.. The show also did a fantastic job taking very unpredictable turns on scenes like; Baker's first outing as a pitcher or as a hitter keeping the viewer (or at least me) with an OMG excitement-I didn't not see that coming. Bringing real life celebrities to play themselves (Kimmel, Smoltz, Buck) was a homerun! Key parts of the story were very Moneyball like portraying the ever going contrast in today's professional sports between management/business and the athlete's passion for the game/team. I could go on but too many spoilers already.. Sorry! Last and most important I enjoyed everyone of the main characters and their roles. Casting was perfect! Please find a way to bring season 2!!!
Marcus Craig Some of the reviews are not taking into account that this is a television show, for entertainment. It is not an historical documentary, recounting the journey of the first woman to play in MLB. For what it is, a sports-based drama, it is a good show. They managed to give depth to all of the main characters (mostly through flashbacks), which helps to actually make some of their more unlikeable moments somewhat understandable. In my opinion, Kylie Bunbury is a great leading lady for this show. I think that MPG does a great job being a surly veteran. I'm not totally fond of Ali Larter's character, but it seems to be more a matter of the way the character was written. I don't see the show as trying to "capitalize on sexism," or fulfilling some sort of "feminist agenda." Inherently, if you have a show about the first modern woman to play a man's sport professionally, there will be some tone of feminism to that story. If all sense of female empowerment was removed, this would naturally be a boring, unrealistic and lazy narrative. Keeping that in mind, the writers have crafted a very believable, relatable story.
Emily Messineo I haven't even seen this show but I refuse to watch it. I've played sports my entire life and based off the previews that I've seen I can tell that the main actress has never thrown a baseball before in her entire life. And why are her pants so high?? Seriously, why would you hire an actress to be a MLB pitcher if she shows no athletic ability whatsoever! I'm sure there are plenty of actresses that could fill this role that have actually played baseball....it's absolutely ridiculous, especially because the rest of the cast looks amazing. I mean even Mark Paul Gosseler grew out a beard for the show! It's just so disappointing because the show looks promising...
