Editorial Review:
Product Description:
An aimless young man who is scalping tickets, gambling and drinking, agrees to coach a Little League team from the Cabrini Green housing project in Chicago as a condition of getting a loan from a friend.
Amazon.com:
Keanu Reeves stars in this story that might best be described as Bad News Bears in the projects. Conor O'Neill (Reeves) is a charming ne'er-do-well with a disturbing gambling addiction. His penchant for betting on the wrong teams leaves him owing several thousand dollars to very violent people, and he ends up coaching a children's baseball team to pay off his debt. The movie skimps a bit on process: the kids start out as terrible players and become better but we don't see how; Conor starts caring but we don't see why. As by-the-numbers movies go, though, it isn't a bad one. The young actors in the cast are talented and understated. Most of the kids' characters are only barely fleshed out by the script, but this keeps the movie from being hijacked by extra-cute mugging. Parents should be cautioned--this movie has some very violent scenes that will frighten young children, and swearing is depicted as precocious and adorable. Still, like a baseball game, it isn't a bad way to spend your time. --Ali Davis

I remeber Hardball coming out of the week as 9/11 back in 2001 and at the time it was released it was just the type of movie, the country needed. Hardball is a uplifting movie that makes one feel good inside. Keanu Reeves shows some of his best atcing since River's Edge. Diane Lane is very good in the female lead also. The kids on the team are all also veyr good actors , many of whom make a apperance for the first time on screen. The film will make you laugh and cry and I 'm proud to have it in my ... Read More

I had watched this movie years ago and wanted to see it again and own it. Of course, I love Keanu Reeves. That's a given. But back then I didn't allow my kids to see it because of all the cursing from the kids in the movie. But I thought they would like the storyline. Now that they were older, I let them watch. They too thought it was good, but there's a really sad part toward the end, and my younger son, who tends to be sensitive, regretted seeing the movie just because of that one scene. Still, it ...

"Hardball" is another of many movies about which I have to say, "I wanted to like it more than I did;" at best, it may be worth watching once. Other reviewers have covered the fact that there is a bit too much cursing in the movie at times, especially by the kids in the movie, and this is one reason why it won't get any repeated viewings or more than a three-star recommendation from me.
Beyond the cursing issue, however, lie some other problems. This movie tries too hard to follow too many ... Read More

Wow! Rented this one about 2 years ago, and it always stuck in my head as a great film! I loved it! I don't know why I love it so much. I guess it's because it's about baseball, and it made me cry, at the end, when Baby G lost his life.
I think I only cry during sad "sports" movies. I didn't cry when "old yeller" died. Didn't cry when Scarface died at the end. But when it comes to Sports movies, I'm a big softie.
My buddy, Bobby Asslong, who's normally right on, when ... Read More

As a Christian, I didn't like the foul language in the movie "Hardball". But sometimes, the world isn't perfect, and kids raised in the projects don't tend to talk the way kids from the suburbs talk.
For four years, I worked as the Management Information Systems Specialist for YMCA Child Welfare, a division of the Chicago YMCA which managed the cases of numerous foster children. (When I first started that job, we were managing the cases of about 950 kids, most of whom were African-American.) ... Read More
