More of the same as the first three, really: either deceptively clever or deceptively stupid, depending on where you're standing, with very funny performances from Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter, who spend most of the film acting opposite themselves in increasingly outlandish prosthetic make-up. Rather generously, much of the film is given to their daughters, in a plotline leading up to a rather predictable climactic twist (clearly, white dudes are not capable of doing anything worthwhile any more). The message of the world coming together through song rings a bit false right now, but that's hardly the movie's fault). Amusing and difficult to dislike.

I feel terrible that I didn't really enjoy this film. The story itself is such a powerful one, and moments in it are truly moving, but the film starts to drag a bit in places. I'm going to have to look into the comparisons between the movie and what actually happened, it's difficult to tell what they created for the script to make the movie chug along and what was real.
There are some very talented actors in this one though, and as I said, some very moving moments. For me though I think it's not quite the break from reality that I look for in a film.

Jon Hamm is great as an American recruiter sent to India in an attempt to bolster his teams pitching prospect pipeline. Seemingly hopeless upon arrival, JB (Hamm) conducts a sort of makeshift tryout that brings interest from all over the area. A few potential candidates show enough promise to pursue, and teach the game of baseball.
The story that follows is quite amazing and very interesting. The follow up on the real life versions of the characters portrayed in the film shows just how accurate (of course some artistic value is added) the story is and what an exceptional reality those involved lived.
Great movie for any baseball fan or a fan of a feel good story that doesn't know boundaries.
