I don't think it is a bad movie at all, just never got me for some reason.

It's about regrets and getting a second chance, by believing that you can make it happen.

Nors;1618636 said:I grew up in a baseball family.
I had catches with my dad all the time. It was just something special to do as a kid. I now over the years routinely have catches with my sons.
It's the norm for me or my sons to say "lets have a catch"
When his old man comes back in the movie and they have that catch I cry like a baby. It's a tradition that might not all have but it's a killer moment to any father/son that had that tradition.
To me it's a very inspirational movie.

It's not a film about correcting your past... it's a film about spending time with your dad...
blindzebra;1618731 said:Really...must have been filler for them to talk about how he refused to have a catch with his dad and told him Shoeless Joe was a cheater...Must have imagined him telling Terry Mann he regretted it?
That Terry got another chance to write about baseball after lying to Ray about the article Ray found about baseball, was just so he could joke about him using his finger for a gun?
That whole Doc coming back because he never got to bat in the majors and how he wondered how his life would be different had he not given up baseball must have been just to make the movie longer before dad took off the catcher's mask?
The movie was about fixing things from the past...you know building a field for the banned Black Sox to play again.
