9 of 9 · most liked firstThe utterly mediocre Disney sports claptrap MILLION DOLLAR ARM was, by a weird twist of fate, exactly the movie I needed to see on a very specific day, and the only reason I didn’t quit film criticism 11 years ago.

unlabelledView post →I can't say there is anything overly noteworthy about 'Million Dollar Arm'. but it's well paced and features a great (true) story - it makes for a very enjoyable 124 minutes. Jon Hamm is a good choice to play lead character JB, he does carry the film with his performance.
