Movie Review

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. Full movie review »

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

This movie was the best. It was a movie that you have to sit down and watch so you will not miss anything. It was very enetrtaining and a very funny movie. BUt why did G-baby have to die. That was the worst part of the movie. That really show you what kids like that in a city like that have to live through their entire lives. This movie show a liar, a good friend, and a person those kids could really loom up to. The first time I saw this movie i cried because some of the things those kids go through are terrible. You need to realize though, that the movie really has nothing to do with baseball, but it has to do with a man who finally knows where he belongs. He knws that the gambling will not get him anywhere and that those kids are there for him.

This movie is my favorite of all time. I love how it shows the reality of how some kids have to grow up. It sad to see what really goes on in big cities, and how family's survive through it all.
