This film uses baseball as a metaphor for a teenager's unfulfilled dreams. You'll be sent to a time when playing catch with your father brought tremendous joy, when your first crush brought unimaginable thrills and heartache, and when your best friend didn't need a trendy acronym to be forever. Sure plenty of the acting was undesirable (Foster & Jenkins aside), but the trip down memory lane was worth it.
Good performances by Jodie Foster and Mark Harmon. A nice little coming of age picture. Feel good, even though it has it's share of death in it. Enjoyable.
This movie had really good potential, but came off a little slow and dry.
A little sappy, but I love movies set in this period. And way better, I think, than if they tried to make the same movie today.
