Review of For Love of the Game (1999) by Patrick M — 21 Apr 2010
This is such a good movie, everyone will love it I'm sure that has seen it. It's like the perfect date movie because it mixes a good love story for the girls and the sports aspect for the guys.
What makes it so good aside from the awesome sports side of it, and the great love story, is how the movie is portrayed or presented. It's as if during this baseball game he's playing he keeps remembering or having flash backs of his past. That is just awesome. Because while keeping you in the present for a little bit, it builds up this back story and then at the end you're in present time and you basically get the ending and all is well.
I think people would like this movie a lot simply because there is probably a scene in this movie or event that occurs that everyone out there can relate to in there own personal lives. I mean the love story for example is so realistic. It's as if you'd watch it and say, "yeah this isn't fake, this is realistic and could, and does happen in real life".
I don't find the movie too stereotypical either, and some of the quotes from this movie are very, very, good. Everyone should watch it, it's a great movie if you like Romance or Sports.
