Review of Screwball (2019) by 3Ebfan511 — 18 Aug 2019
Entertaining, odd, but not very critical, of the major league steroids epidemic. The filmmaker seems to have gotten Bosch's cooperation to make the film so...he goes very easy on probably the "mastermind" of the operation.
and much of the action is rendered with children acting out the main characters conversations as one or the other narrates. It adds to the comedy, and makes it entertaining, but..on the downside it isn't really a hard-hitting piece on any of its subjects.
Ultimately, as I used to be pretty upset about A-rod cheating, this film, with the child-like renditions, reminds you that baseball..is just a game. There really aren't many criminal penalties at stake, it is simply.
.a game. Which is not a way I thought of it, and differs strongly from a more dramatic sports docs about say, Lance Armstrong, or the olympic doping. It is fairly entertaining, and somewhat funny, so it kept my attention and is definitely worth watching if you like humorous or silly documentaries, with.
..a lot of interesting characters and stories. But I find the light take ..leaves some of the subjects off the hook, as it doesn't really examine the morals of what the subjects did.
