A very funny, weird and witty movie from the director of the great "Three Kings". While not as polished as the later 3 Kings, this movie is highly recommended. A lot of fun with some great performance from an all-star, quirky, cast.

Very good profile of ignored Jewish baseball great

While skipping some details which would be interest to the devoted baseball-phile (like how he compared to his near contemporary Ted Williams), this is a wonderful and charming look at this baseball and American great. This movie appeals not only from a baseball and Jewish perspective, but touches upon what it means to be an American. Highly recommended.

Lush, understated treatment of scattered script.

A visually beautiful and hypnotic film. Understated direction employing only a minimum of special effects. Very poor adaptation of the book, however. Probably best to read the outstanding book first and enjoy its impressionist encapsulation in film.
