Movie Review: WOW!!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
at first i was skeptical about tom sellick coming out of the role of magnum "from magnum pi" but once i started watching mr baseball, wow the way it brings japanese and american culture togather has not been seen since the karate kid 2. one of the most heartwarming scenes is when he goes to his girlfriends fathers house and his girlfriends father is his manager that he did not get along with.they have a discussion about baseball and life that will stick with you for the remander of your days. this is the most epic film in the history of modern cinima.with his performance in mr baseball tom selleck has catapulted his name into the list of greatest actors. now when you think pacino, brando, bogart you have to also put sellick in that list if not at the top. to say mr baseball changed my life would be an understatment. mr baseball changed the world.Movie Review: The title says it all!
Summary: 5 Stars
The working title for this film was "Tokyo Diamond". Tom Selleck,late of TV's "Magnum PI",is an American baseball player who is transferred to a Japanese team after the American team officials believe that Jack(Selleck) is unsatisfactorily playing. In Japan,he meets beautiful Hiroko and falls in love with her. Hiroko ends up joining Jack in going back to the United States. Hiroko's father owns the Japanese team that Jack plays for. This is somewhat like the real-life union of Yoko Ono and the late John Lennon. After success in Japan,Jack is welcomed back to his American team. Dennis Haysbert had a supporting role in this film,probably in part because he appeared in the 1989 Paramount film MAJOR LEAGUE. All-American Jack couldn't quite adjust to the customs of the Japanese. Great film!Movie Review: Tom Selleck Scores A Home Run With This Comedy!
Summary: 5 Stars
Mr. Baseball is a hilarious baseball movie about a aging New York Yankess slugger(Tom Selleck, Magnum, P.I., Blue Bloods) who is slowing down and can't hit homers anymore, so the team's manager traded his to the Nagoya Dragons in Japan. And from the start, Selleck's character is making a spectacle of himself, but with the help of his American teammate in the Dragons(Dennis Haysbert, The Unit, 24), the slugger finally was able to help his team win games. The special features includes a trailer of the film and an old Universal newsrell featuring Babe Ruth. Mr. Baseball is one of the best Baseball movies and the most under-appreciated comedy of all.Movie Review: Great movie - still not available in Japan
Summary: 5 Stars
Accurate cultural references. Nicely crafted humor. Selleck is perfectly cast. It reminds me what I first found fascinating about Japan 17 years ago and why I've been here ever since. Sadly, this movie isn't and never has been available to buy on DVD in Japan. I can only think there's some copyright dispute that prevents its release. Whatever the reason - surely a little gem like this should be available to buy/rent in the country where it was made? Hai? As in Yes?Movie Review: Excellent movie
Summary: 5 Stars
Tom Selleck does a wonderful job of portraying an egotistical ballplayer who is shipped off to Japan.He is "reborn" so to speak and discovers baseball all over again. Real nice story set in a wonderful country where Baseball rules.If you like baseball stories, this is a wonderful one to add to your collection.
