not too many people seem to know about this movie . which be too bad because i think it pretty good . sure it be a bit cheesy at time and may have a predictable storyline . but the presentation of the movie be pretty well do . i think the casting be good with likeable actor or character . tom selleck do a good job at play a baseball player ( go figure . not too much of a stretch i suppose ) and ken takakura ( from black rain ) play the chief ( the coach of the japanese baseball team ) . there isn not too much to complain about . it just a light and easy go and happy comedy and i recommend it .
