| One of Tom Selleck's best If you like Tom Selleck, you'll love his performance in this movie. He is both funny & sensitive, brash & humble. The baseball scenes are really authentic. The supporting cast is very good. A great story about seeing things from others' perspective. By a reviewer (el cajon, california)  |
| The romantic version of major league This movie is funny, Its alot like Major League But has a romantic twist. Definately worth putting in you movie collection. By Lee (Alabama, USA) |
| Great movie on Culture Shock This is a true East meets West movie, Tom Selleck is a major league ballplayer in the US that is in a slump and traded to a Japanese ballclub. On arrival he is convinced he knows everything and is too good for the Dragons, but soon learns that acceptance is the key to success. Saw this the first time before moving to Okinawa and agian once there. Very good movie that helps explain and demonstrate the culture shock many people feel when visiting an foreign culture. By gojira55 (Fairbanks AK)  This review is for a different format. |
