OUR REVIEW
by Dave White
Who's in It: The voices of Jake T. Austin, Rob Reiner, Whoopi Goldberg, Brian Dennehy, William H. Macy, Mandy Patinkin, Forest Whitaker
The Basics: A talking baseball (which is given all the "oy vey" you'd ever need for the rest of your natural life by Rob Reiner) and a sassy talking bat (substitute some "whatchoo talkin' bout Willis" attitude from Whoopi Goldberg) are taken on a very long walking trip to go help Babe Ruth and the Yankees win the World Series. Yes, you read that right. I don't just sit around making up this stuff.
What's the Deal? I'm trying to figure out why this talking bat and ball, both with real human feelings and emotions, are so keen to get smashed in their faces during a baseball game. I saw this movie three weeks ago, and I'm still trying to figure out that part.
Let Us Pray to the Demigods of 2-D Animation: Dear Whoever You Are … Please deliver us from the torment of all of this cheaply made 3-D junk with zero other dimensions, such as decent stories, scripts and visual interest. Amen.
No, I Do Not Hate the Late Christopher Reeve: This was his project, and that of his widow and now also deceased wife, Dana Reeve. And maybe there was a story about something here back when it all began. But along the way, from then to now, a series of foul balls were hit. And dropped.
And Another Thing: You know how long it takes to destroy a baseball in a Major League game? A few hits. That's it. This is a movie about assisted suicide.
