Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Very disappointing...

Don't listen to the negative reviews

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Billy Heywood (Luke Edwards) lives with his single mother Jenny (Ashley Crow). His unassuming grandfather Thomas (Jason Robards) owns the Minnesota Twins. After his death, he bequeaths the Twins to Billy. Lou Collins (Timothy Busfield) is the star player. George O'Farrell (Dennis Farina) is the bombastic manager. Arthur Goslin (Kevin Dunn) is the GM and Mac Macnally (John Ashton) is the pitching coach. The team is a mess. O'Farrell opposes signing Ricky Henderson and Billy fires him. Billy decides to coach the team himself.This is a solid kids movie. It is a dream come true for any young baseball lover. Billy is wise beyond his years and smarter than the adults. There are lessons to be learned, hard decisions to make, and the overarching joy of baseball. It also helps to have real MLB teams and the real parks.

Little Big League was one of my favorite movies as a kid. Growing up in Minnesota I thought it was the coolest thing that there was a movie about our Twins, and a good movie at that. Being a baseball player is every kids' dream, and owning one would be the next best thing. This movie, unlike some sports films, accurately shows the game of baseball and what it is like on and off the field. The acting is fairly good and the characters and story line are not one dimensional and boring like some kid's movies. It is humorous but can be very serious at times. Watching it makes me feel young again and reminds me of my love for baseball. Little Big League is a movie that both kids and adults can enjoy.

Only kids would like this movie or find it funny, because only a kid would be entertained by the idea of a kid being in charge of adults. This movie was terrible from many angles.Acting: Bad. Can't say much more than just bad. Luke Edwards was terrible. He has the range of Keanu Reeves, he never showed any emotion other than indifference.Humor: It absolutely was NOT funny. I was begging for a chuckle even.Story: It would be fitting to use a baseball analogy here: Swing and a miss.As a baseball fan, I can't imagine the game being insulted by having a kid manage a professional team. I wouldn't care if the kid was an all out baseball savant (as this kid was), managing a team is still managing people and personalities which takes more than just statistical knowledge to do.Grown men will not take to being managed or led by a child, especially macho, testosterone driven athletes. I thought the players reaction to the news of their new manager was far more tempered than it would really be. Those ball players would have been far more objectionable, not to mention the commissioner of baseball.This kid never came across as a bold an audacious boy, but that's exactly what it would require for a boy to put himself in charge of a baseball team. I wasn't interested in seeing how the story would play out. I'm sure they eventually warmed up to him, the team started winning, the mom dated the ball player and everyone lived happily ever after. If this were a better movie I would watch it to the predictable end, but this was just a huge Kansas City Royals flop.

I remember that I didn't want to see this movie at the theater (or as a rental for that matter) because of the marketing of the movie and what I thought would be a dumb story. However, I was pleasantly surprised. For what it was worth, it was a pretty good movie. Yeah, the story-line was not believable and it was cheesy at times, but the basis behind the story was pretty solid, it had some pretty good lines, and it was pretty entertaining the whole way through. Word of warning, though - Don't let Randy Johnson scare you. That guy had to have fallen out of the ugly tree and hit every single branch on the way down, THEN bounced and hit every single branch on the way up. Plus he's called the 'Big Unit'; scary! 6.5 out of 10.
