The film, The Perfect Game, was released this week to mediocre reviews. Cheech is a priest, again. Seems that film studios only hire Cheech Marin to play a priest or a chihuahua.
They re-shot this film twice. The cast kept changing. The film studio kept postponing the release date because they didn't want to lose money and rightly so.
Here are a couple sample reviews:
Time Out New York says "the Christian sermonizing leans heavily on vague, theologically dubious suggestions of divine baseball providence" and "The Perfect Game courts its target demos like a leg-humping hound, but sports fans, believers, Latinos and even young wanna-be Willie Mayses can find fellowship elsewhere."
Cinesnob says "It would take a heck of a lot more to make “The Perfect Game” as interesting as the black and white photos of the real-life players it displays during the closing credits. That’s the story everyone should really be rooting for" and Sadly, “Game” plays like a lightweight athlete despite its big, misplaced heart."
If you really want to see this, I'd wait for the DVD.
