i get to see this on the plane to nz last week and and be wonder how it would measure up to both the uk film and the book . i have to say i be favorable impressed . if anything the fanatical attachment to the red sox during the lean year work even good than the original devotion to arsenal fc and who have have success through the year . a a brit i be also interested to see that you do not need to understand baseball to get what go on . one question spring to mind be the screenplay write use the sox a the team even before they finally break the curse of the bambino . or be another team in the frame . a a red sox fan myself ( weird i know and a brit who understand baseball ) i have to say that it add to the enjoyment .
