Hyams directs Timothy Brady’s script appropriately if not brilliantly (Hyams is also credited as a co-editor), but the movie’s main attraction, finally, is its cast. Read full review

Away from the baseball diamond, All Square effectively pivots to moments of surprisingly affecting drama. Read full review

Neil Young

Stands on its own as a small-scale enterprise which makes some telling points about much bigger issues relating to American society, sports and community ties. Read full review

I didn’t expect to like it, and Timothy Brady’s script never quite hits that “sleeper” sweet spot. But All Square rides its spot-on casting, sharply defined performances and beer-stained sense of place well past second base, if not all the way home. Read full review

A good supporting cast — including Isiah Whitlock Jr., Harris Yulin, Tom Everett Scott and Josh Lucas as a hindrance to John’s plans — gives Kelly much to play off, but the story is too rote to get worked up about any of the conflicts. Read full review

I'm a huge Michael Kelly fan and couldn't wait to see All Square. He didn't disappoint me. Loved his relationship with Brian, the twelve year old boy in the story. We all have challenges in our lives, and usually we don't make big monumental changes as we learn our life lessons. MichaelI'm a huge Michael Kelly fan and couldn't wait to see All Square. He didn't disappoint me. Loved his relationship with Brian, the twelve year old boy in the story. We all have challenges in our lives, and usually we don't make big monumental changes as we learn our life lessons. Michael Kelly's character, John, made a believable small step forward at the end of the movie, and that seemed realistic to me. Best part of this movie were the characters. I really enjoyed this movie.… Expand
