Beautifully put together and heartfelt, if a little sappy

This is a tale of Kevin Costner's baseball pitcher in his last game as a pro and on the verge of a perfect game. All this is intercut with flashbacks to poignant moments in his life as he contemplates his career, his life and his loves.Sam Raimi, surprisingly considering his horror leanings, directs very well, if a little schmaltzy toward the end. Costner is great, Kelly Preston is ok and a touch underwritten. John C Reilly offers great support.Best not to judge the movie too harshly. Just put your phone down and let the warm waves of cheese wash over you as you succumb to the somewhat sappy loveliness.

Cant believe this is not in your top baseball movies

As not a American i just love these kind of movies, this is a great movie. This is real American drama and a feel good movie. I saw this many times and just watch Moneyball also a great movie. I just say if wanna watch a movie about baseball that also has some feel good and you can see with your girl without the story he you wanna watch sports again watch this. Great makes me pink a cry every time.
