A movie for people who value heart and earnestness over technical filmmaking skill, and consider unpredictable plot turns a betrayal.
By Peter Hartlaub FULL REVIEW

It's an unabashedly corny but occasionally stirring dramedy based on the true-life story of scrappy young baseball players from Mexico who, in 1957, scored an improbable string of successes while playing their way from a Monterrey sandlot to the Little League World Series.
By Joe Leydon FULL REVIEW
