Movie Reviews of Mr Baseball
Movie Review: Perhaps the most underrated baseball movie ever
Summary: 5 Stars
I've watched a number of baseball movies over the years, and "Mr. Baseball" is among the best of them all and probably the most underrated. Anyone who's studied Japanese baseball will recognize the accuracy in which the game there is portrayed, as well as the culture shock most American players go through (and often never get over). Tom Selleck is a great choice for the role of Jack Elliott, an ex-Yankee sold to the Chunichi Dragons, much to his dismay. Dennis Haysbert is solid in a supporting role as a fellow American player on the Dragons who tries to help Jack adjust, and Aya Takanashi is gorgeous and classy as Jack's love interest. This video is absolutely worth buying, since you really don't have to be a fan of the game to enjoy it. I rate "Mr. Baseball" in the same class as "Bull Durham" and "A League of Their Own" and much better than either of the "Major League" movies, "Angels In The Outfield," or any of the other more recent baseball flicks.
