Bottom Of The 9th Movie Wikipedia

Similarly, sports-loving moviegoers looking for a big dose of ball-swatting romance might want to stay home and rewatch The Natural or The Rookie. (And follow it up with a bracing slap of Brockmire.) Bottom of the 9th wraps up with no extra innings, delivering just enough melodrama and Americana to earn its time on the diamond. Nobody's saying this movie is Spielberg level, but Bottom of the 9th is touching and it delivers in it's promises. It's a feel good hero Hollywood drama to a T. Not too heavy on the cheesiness/unrealistic circumstances until the end and even then it's ok. As expected for this kind of movie. I don't understand the reviews about bad acting.
