This is like a "life REALLY sucks" version of Rudy if you swap football for baseball. We were never really showed anything the kid was really good at, I guess it was sports broadcasting if I had to make a guess.
I'm glad that he ended up with the possibility of getting the girl (in the end anyway), but your coach that has thus far been treating you like a beloved mascot all of the sudden moves in on this girl that's 20 years younger and pretty much no chance with, him moving in on our "hero's" girl is just sleazy. Don't get me wrong, I'm not the type who only enjoys feel-good movies.
I guess my main gripe is that it was just plain boring. I found myself 45 minutes into a movie - wondering why I was watching it. Luckily the bit of romance between Calvin and Tori, that made it just interesting enough for me to finish and write this review, from the perspective of the "average guy" instead of the independent film groupies who rave about this below average flick.
I really hope it was based very tightly on a true story - else whoever the hell wrote this needs to find a new job. I will say however that the acting was pretty decent, but all they can do is follow a poor script.
/end rant - hope this helps and keeps you from wasting an hour and a half of your life. Cheers
