The movie stars Trevor Morgan (The Sixth Sence, Jurassic Park), Rory Culkin (Twelves, Signs), Ray Liotta (Dominick ane Eugene, Field of Dreams), M. Emmet Walsh (Don McKay, Wild Wild West), Seymour Cassel (It Could Happen to You, Rushmore), Lori Petty (The Poker House, A League of There Own), and Keith David (They, Don McKay).
The plot is a grown up Liotta tells his kids about a road trip he and his brother take to see Roberto Clemente get his 3000's hit.
At the start of the movie there is a feel of A Field of Dreams. The dad takes off and baseball plays a big part in the movie. Later on the movie reminded me a little of Stand By Me. Its a comming of age road trip movie. To see Lori Petty with grey hair was unexpected.
There was a scene where Walsh recounts Clemente being nice to him when he was a kid. The casting and the way his character was developed was 100% the wrong way to go. It did not connect with me on amy kind of emotoinal level. There is a scene towards the end where Liotta and his brother recount the fond memories of the trip. That scene did not work at all. It seemed forced was no where close to the emotional responce it wanted to evoke. There was no sence of emotional debth in the entire movie.
Im rating this movie as a C- or D, I would suggest Field of Dreams or Stand By Me eather will be a lot better use of your time even if you have seen them before.
