The Perfect Game Reviews
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
Anyone much older than, say, 10, will likely find the underdog saga sappy and manipulative, not to mention filled with sports movie cliches, including the following statement: "It will take a miracle to make them into a real team."
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
A very sweet, very slight family movie that scores smiles and tears of joy.
Los Angeles Times
Mark Olsen
The heart of both the story and its telling do help in smoothing over other deficiencies, sweet and disarming in its belief that something like a baseball game can make a bigger difference.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
This inspirational film, written by first-timer (and producer) W. William Winokur, is not for cynics or those resistant to cute kids (and child actors sometimes given to mugging).
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
Notable only for being a catalog of just about every kid-pic cliche' ever committed to film.
Orlando Sentinel
Roger Moore
The odd engaging moment is always followed by a cloying eye-roller, such as when a nearly-new ball appears on their dusty Monterey sandlot. "Father, what does it mean?" "It means God wants us to play baseball!"
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
The film is perfectly mediocre, which is heartbreaking, not heartwarming.
AV Club
Scott Tobias
A paper-thin telling of a genuinely remarkable story that lifts the bullet points of a Mexican team's unprecedented run through the Little League World Series, and fills out the rest with stereotypes and rank sentimentality.
Boston Globe
Tom Russo
The climactic drama of the championship game owes largely to the fact that, despite their unprecedented success as a foreign team in the tournament, young Angel Macias and his teammates somehow didn't go down in history, at least not stateside.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
You sort of know how these underdog sports movies turn out. Doesn't matter. The Perfect Game so expertly uses the charisma and personalities of the actors, especially the young ones, that it's thrilling anyway.
Beliefnet
Nell Minow
Think of it as the "Good News Bears."
Decent Films
Steven D. Greydanus
There has been only one perfect game in the history of the Little League World Series, and the story is as unlikely and as perfect as any underdog sports-movie fairy tale.
CinemaBlend
Perri Nemiroff
Packed with everything you'd want from an inspiring sports story. The pieces aren't put together as neatly as one would hope, but the film easily achieves the intended effect.
At the Movies
A.O. Scott
[From] the second minute of the movie I knew every single thing that was going to happen and there was not a single surprise.
Variety
Joe Leydon
It's an unabashedly corny but occasionally stirring dramedy based on the true-life story of scrappy young baseball players from Mexico.
New York Times
Neil Genzlinger
So overwhelmed by its own based-on-actual-events tale that it can't find the tone to tell it effectively.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
Well-meaning but thick with cliches.
Christianity Today
Tim Avery
The Perfect Game is an earnest tribute, but the story could have been rendered more convincingly.
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
Baseball movies generally lean toward the mawkishly uplifting, an inclination wholly embraced by The Perfect Game, which resorts to such corniness that one can practically hear the screen crunching.
CNNRadio
Paul Chambers
A very slow and terrible film. This little league baseball story is so full of holes, that even diehard fans of the game would be hard pressed to sit through it. Paul Chambers, CNN.
