A good movie

This movie is definitely a childhood favorite. Indeed, the first time I saw it, I must have rented it on VHS at the time and I must have been about 12 years old. Back then, I thought it was actually a really fun flick. The funny thing is that, the fist time I went to Baltimore (something like 16 years ago), we went to see a baseball game in the actual Baltimore stadium. If I recall it correctly, it was actually a game between The Baltimore Orioles and the Cleveland Indians, the team featured in this movie. Since I really liked this flick when I was a kid, it was quite surreal to see them playing. Anyway, it was definitely a cool experience. Anyway, coming back to our main feature, through the years, I started to think that the whole thing must have been actually rather lame but, after I watched it again my step-son, I was positively surprised by the whole thing. Indeed, in fact, it is actually a really solid comedy. I mean, sure, it is a very old gimmick, to have a band of misfits who are first pathetic but then starts to win big, but I think it has rarely been done better than here. To conclude, beside the nostalgia, it is actually a decent sport movie, easily one of my favorites, and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
