The Perfect Game
This story presents an exemplary example of Mexico with those events that resulted from the poverty of Monterrey, Mexico. At that time, a group of young raggits, thanks to the guidance of Clifton Collins Junior, became the first non-US baseball team to win the world championship, which caused a stir at the time.

The Perfect Game proves that you don't always have to reach for lofty heights to work. It's certainly not a classic. It's a simple pleasure for those times when that's all you need.

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.

It's hard not to root for an underdog, especially a relentlessly optimistic one, and the reality is Game has a lot of heart. But not much in the way of legs.

No ironic detachment for William Dear's latest film: It may have every cliché in the book, but The Perfect Game means everything it says.

A welcome addition to the expanding genre of baseball films.

It's an unabashedly corny but occasionally stirring dramedy based on the true-life story of scrappy young baseball players from Mexico.

It's all stencil work without a single touch of novelty, inspiration or originality.

Notable only for being a catalog of just about every kid-pic cliche' ever committed to film.

So overwhelmed by its own based-on-actual-events tale that it can't find the tone to tell it effectively.

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."

[From] the second minute of the movie I knew every single thing that was going to happen and there was not a single surprise.

Director William Dear is not one to miss a sentimental beat.
