The premise for the movie sounds good right- a retired baseballer who finished with 3000 hits has his records checked 9 years later and they discover he only has 2997 hits- so he decides to comeback to get to 3000. But they messed it up.
Bernie was solid- but how tired are we of selfish athletes who learn the meaning of team by the end of the movie (eg Corbin Bernsen's character in "Major League" and that guy, not that I've seen it, in "Eddie")? As you'd expect the ending is pretty predictable.
The supporting cast gives little, although little opportunity is offered. It's a shame Bernie hasn't been anything decent to work with since his small role in "Oceans 11". Unless I hear rave reviews, I don't think I'll be giving him many more chances.
