A slice of apple pie...

I bought this Dvd because I had the vhs, and beside that format being obsolete, the tape got ruined. I remember renting this movie with my older brother so many times that we actually probably bought the movie ten times over. Finally we purchased a copy for ourselves. This is such a great summer movie. It is very well done, the direction is great and the acting is superb; especially Thomas Guiry's performance. He is such a natural. While it is a typical stock character kid's flick, the characters are so endearing and humourous and each individual stands out with their own personality and story. Even if you did not grow up in the 60's, even if you did not play baseball as a kid, EVEN if you are not a boy, this movie speaks to you. It is centered around baseball, but really it is about friendship and typical childhood "coming of age" experiences. It isn't cheesy or overly emotional, you may feel as if you've "seen if before" because it is so relateable, but not because it is predictable and flat. I love this movie, and I am a girl, and I was born in the 80's (I did play baseball with my three brothers, however in our cul-de-sac). This movie reminds you of, at the risk of sounding trite, simpler times. It's a slice of apple pie of a movie that you will love. You'll be quoting it soon! Happy watching...
