I feel the same as after watching Pulp Fiction.
That is, I just watched a film that I liked a lot and have absolutely no idea why. Really can't explain it. Because you've got to have a lot of patience with this film, and some minutes before it ends it really gets good and worthwhile, but then...
Absolutely awesome!
Really a movie worth seeing. Have no understanding of baseball what so ever, but enjoyed it with my girlfriend a lot, and so did she. This is a hard to believe success story.
Likely to see
Not for me
