richard-1787 There are a few clever scenes in this movie, but mostly, it's play by the numbers. I don't know if it would appeal to a 12 year old, but it could have appealed to a guy of any age who dreams of what he could do if only he were allowed to manage a baseball team.But it would have been far more effective in that way if, instead of having the players played by actors who developed the usual collection of quirky characters, the producer had managed to convince the real players of a real losing team to appear in this movie. Then it truly would have been fantasy baseball at its finest, and more realistic.Not a bad movie, but not a memorable one.
matt_back5 Little Big League was one of my favorite movies as a kid. Growing up in Minnesota I thought it was the coolest thing that there was a movie about our Twins, and a good movie at that. Being a baseball player is every kids' dream, and owning one would be the next best thing. This movie, unlike some sports films, accurately shows the game of baseball and what it is like on and off the field. The acting is fairly good and the characters and story line are not one dimensional and boring like some kid's movies. It is humorous but can be very serious at times. Watching it makes me feel young again and reminds me of my love for baseball. Little Big League is a movie that both kids and adults can enjoy.
kwittet My 2 year old son loves this movie. He sits and watches it over and over all day long. I like the movie also even though I am a hockey fan and have not really followed baseball all the much. Here it is 2006 and I am just seeing this movie for the first time. I noticed that near the end of the movie in the playoff game that when Ken Griffey Jr steps up to the plate that in the back ground there is a large Canadian flag hanging in the stadium. So i checked the credits and it shows nothing about any Canadian filming locations. I was thinking that this had something to do with the Toronto BLue Jays winning the previous 2 world series (1992 & 1993) Thanks
Bungle-9 I've been watching quite a few baseball films recently, and I think I'm getting obsessed. I quite liked this, perhaps improbable, look at the management of modern baseball teams. It reminds us of the fact that there's too much money involved in sports nowadays, and that's not the way it should be. The bluesy music was great, and the film boast's a couple of appearances from several of the New York Yankees, Ken Griffey Jnr. being one of them. Good show.
