The Perfect Game
The film presents a look at the lives of some in Mexico, amidst the poverty of Monterrey, Mexico, which changed many things there. The events begin when a group of young boys, thanks to the guidance of the coach (Clifton Collins Junior), became a fantasy team and was trained at the highest level in baseball. Over time, this team became the first non-US baseball team to win the World Junior League.

It's all stencil work without a single touch of novelty, inspiration or originality.

A welcome addition to the expanding genre of baseball films.

So overwhelmed by its own based-on-actual-events tale that it can't find the tone to tell it effectively.

Packed with everything you'd want from an inspiring sports story. The pieces aren't put together as neatly as one would hope, but the film easily achieves the intended effect.

No ironic detachment for William Dear's latest film: It may have every cliché in the book, but The Perfect Game means everything it says.

It's hard not to root for an underdog, especially a relentlessly optimistic one, and the reality is Game has a lot of heart. But not much in the way of legs.

Director William Dear is not one to miss a sentimental beat.

The Perfect Game proves that you don't always have to reach for lofty heights to work. It's certainly not a classic. It's a simple pleasure for those times when that's all you need.

Anyone much older than, say, 10, will likely find the underdog saga sappy and manipulative, not to mention filled with sports movie cliches, including the following statement: "It will take a miracle to make them into a real team."

[From] the second minute of the movie I knew every single thing that was going to happen and there was not a single surprise.

Notable only for being a catalog of just about every kid-pic cliche' ever committed to film.

It's an unabashedly corny but occasionally stirring dramedy based on the true-life story of scrappy young baseball players from Mexico.
