80A wild and unexpected film.

63This chronicle of two athletes throwing baseball's funkiest, least respected pitch is given depth by their stranger-than-fiction underdog status and camaraderie with mentors who've had the same struggles.

50Though not novel enough to attract non-devotees of America's Pastime, the film should please fans on the small screen.
