Movie Review

Grade: C+ If this year so far is any indication, there is more unoriginal content to come. Hardball tells the story of a young man with a gambling problem who's life is touched by an unorganized inner city team, and he ends up leading that team to the championship. If Hardball sounds anything like a more adult version of The Mighty Ducks, you're not the only one. Read the full movie review

Did Jamal Kill G-baby, by Ryan

June 28, 2004

I've seen the movie on tv and it never says who shot G-baby even though my friend has the movie and said Jamal accidentally shot him. I don't know if thats true or not. All in all its a great movie
