I can't say there is anything overly noteworthy about 'Million Dollar Arm'. but it's well paced and features a great (true) story - it makes for a very enjoyable 124 minutes.
Jon Hamm is a good choice to play lead character JB, he does carry the film with his performance. There are other pleasant performances though, Pitobash Tripathy (Amit) stands out most from those behind Hamm. Bill Paxton (Tom), Lake Bell (Brenda), Suraj Sharma (Rinku) and Madhur Mittal (Dinesh) merit props too.
It's a feel-good premise, one that is rather nice to see play out. The score is solid, as is the cinematography. It's a positive that they spend a decent chunk of the film actually in India, I had a inkling they might've skipped it but thankfully they do not - they tell the story well. It's probably Disneyfied in ways, but who cares.
It isn't anything necessarily special, but I certainly thoroughly enjoyed this. Recommended.
Feel good Disney sport films are one of the most consistent genres out there. Even the less appealing stories still manage to make you feel good and care by the end. That is where this one is. Not my favorite, but its very much quality.
Rating: 3/5 - 7.5/10 - Worth Watching
Not every film needs a romance subplot, Disney
not bad, light watching on a evening
Predictable but enjoyable...definitely worth a watch!
Now that one of the best TV programme's ever created has finished (Mad Men) i was able to watch this movie after putting it on the back burner for a while. I did'nt want to watch Don Draper in any other movie or TV programme....and after watching this its gonna take some getting used too.
فيلم رياضي درامي وكوميدي استمتع فيه ولاحسيت بالوقت، وفوق هذا جون هام لايق عليه الدور كثير :$
