For Love of the Game

FOR LOVE OF THE GAME (1999) - August 10, 2008
A really enjoyable film about an aging baseball player who, during what may be his final game, looks back at his life -- particularly at his five-year relationship with his on-again off-again girlfriend. This was a really well made film; the baseball scenes are really exciting, and the stuff outside of the game were just as good. It's very often schmaltzy, but never in a bad way. It also features a really good performance from Kevin Costner. ***1/2
