Review of Mr. Baseball (1992) by Jeremy S — 02 Jun 2010
Not that bad, but not that good either. Tom Selleck and his moustache are demoted to the Japanese league after a fall from grace in the majors. This could've been a really cool story had the Japanese characters been more funny & interesting.
And the film really fails to show you the differences in the styles of play between the 2 countries. Selleck carries this movie decently, but he has no supporting characters to help him. Dennis Haysbert doesn't even do movies anymore.
He does All State Insurance commercials. The love story between Selleck & his managers daughter is ultra lame. This works a lot more as a fun baseball movie than a romantic comedy which is what it seems like it was trying to go for.
Like I said, not bad, but it's nothing compared to stuff like Major League or even Rookie of the Year or The Sandlot for that.
