Review of For Love of the Game (1999) by John P — 03 Apr 2013
This is a great movie! The plot has Kevin Cosner's character Billy Chapel pitching the last game of the season. hile pitching throughout the whole movie he is having flashback's of his succeses, failures, mistakes.
.. Most of the movie builds up his just failed relationship with his girl friend and the mistakes he is realizing he made with her. Before he knows it he is pitching a perfect game (against the infamous New York Yankees no less).
His character has a lot of heart; this is really what this movie is about. Who hasn't loved something so much that they almost lose themselves chasing it. I want to add I disagree with Roger Egert, which I often do, and most the other professional critics.
Had Costner went out to the mound with a pink dress, did a dance, and cried when the New York fans booed him. Roger would have added this to his top ten movies of all time list!
