  • Starring: Cheech Marin, Clifton Collins Jr., Moises Arias
  • Summary: In 1957, a barefooted, rag-tag team of boys from poverty stricken Monterrey, Mexico, defy extraordinary odds to become the first foreign team to win the Little League World Series-doing so in a perfect game-the only one in championship history. Based on a true story, The Third Miracle tells the tale of how their miracle changed, not only their lives but the life of an entire city, and of their world-weary coach who gains the redemption of his long lost dream.

  1. Really a perfect family movie.
  2. As the title loudly hints, ultimate victory assumes the flawless shape of the star pitcher’s perfect game, a rarity anywhere yet especially at the Little League level. In getting to that climax, the recreated game action is a bit tepid and the child actors too precociously cute, but the true tale in the midst of the fabrication remains a guaranteed heart-warmer.
  3. A movie for people who value heart and earnestness over technical filmmaking skill, and consider unpredictable plot turns a betrayal.
  4. The film is perfectly mediocre, which is heartbreaking, not heartwarming.

  1. A great story. The rough edges match the themes of the inspirational story. Child actors sometimes talk in a way adults think is forced or inauthentic. Any teacher or coach of the young is not surprised by any of the dialog. What took them so long to produce this film? Expand
