a film like amaze grace and chuck be a perfect example of how the left in this country just doesn not get it . they never do . and liberalism continue to slip far and far into political oblivion . this film deal with a little league baseball star who decide to stop play ball a a protest to the existence of nuclear weapon . the boy be understandably ridicule until a bevy of professional athlete and lead by former nba star alex english and join his cause . not just a few of them join the cause . by the time his movement reach it zenith and entire league of professional and college sport have to cancel their season since nobody will play any more . just to move this review along and i be prepared to grant them this premise . even though it would never happen in a million year and i will just imagine it could and then go from there . i do not quite remember how and but some type of agreement be reach and and the boy decide to go back to the game he love in an incredibly sappy and ridiculous scene . before criticize the message of this film and let me just say that this film be poorly write and act and direct . even if one do agree with the boy stance and it would be impossible to overcome how badly the film be construct . and that a shame since there be plenty of good actor that go to waste . ( peck and curtis and petersen ) . alex english do as well a he could have with his character however and and i wish he would try to act in more film . ala and it likely much easy to find work in the coaching world of the nba . one wish mr. english would teach more of these thuggish nba type of today how to shoot the rock a little good . alex certainly know how to put the ball through the hoop . as far a the film message in concerned and it just wrong head . plain and simple . all of those nuclear warhead tuck away in those missile silos out west prevented war . it would be one thing for this boy and his flock to protest an actual war or the use of nuclear weapon . these weapon be in fact never use and and that be the genius behind their existence . neither side during the cold war be crazy enough to fire a single missile . without these weapon and who know what might have happen between the usa and ussr . the maker of this film obviously intend for kid in america to take up their cause and follow in chuck footstep . kid in america however be more intelligent than the left wing kook who create this dreck . the film be worth only negative star . if you want to see a great film about the danger of nuclear war and stick with dr. strangelove and instead . mr. newell and you be no frank capra .
