Here’s an inspirational film that has good sportsmanship at the center of its storyline.  It’s called The Perfect Game, and I believe it's the ideal film for the whole family.  The movie features some very good acting, directing and a nostalgic look at a historic baseball event.  If you have youngsters in your family, or just want to see an uplifting film, then The Perfect Game is perfect for you.

In 1957 Mexican Caesar Faz resigned from the St. Louis Cardinals as their locker room worker because they wouldn’t give him a chance at coaching.  Withdrawn due the decision, Caesar goes back to his hometown in Monterrey, Mexico where he works in a factory.  One day a young boy wakens him with noise caused by his throwing a makeshift baseball near the shack he calls home.  Challenged by the boy and others who know of his ability to coach, he takes on a group of kids to form a Little League baseball team.  From there it’s history -- winning local tournaments and getting a shot at the championship in Williamsport ... and a final game that will live in Little League history.

I liked the way they handled the film. It shows determination, resistance to discrimination and gives inspiration to all ages and walks of life.  If you have a child that dreams of playing a sport some day then take him/her to see the film and bring the rest of the family so they can feel good too.

William Dear (Angels in the Outfield) directs the film with confidence in his young actors, all of which are fairly new to the big screen.  Giving them most of the screen time with a lot of kid-friendly dialogue, Dear brings some heartfelt moments to what could have been just another docudrama.  Instead, he treats us to an uplifting movie that is memorable and encouraging.

The film is rated PG for some thematic elements, including discrimination by some Texas town folks showing racial prejudice that was widespread during the era.

FINAL ANALYSIS: A very good film for youngsters and oldsters alike. Play Ball!
