All Critics (7) | Top Critics (3) | Fresh (3) | Rotten (5) | DVD (2)
Despite telltale evidence of budgetary constraints -- production values are at direct-to-video level -- helmer Hugh Wilson (Blast From the Past) delivers a reasonably well-crafted piece of work.
Top CriticA quiet, introspective film.
Unless you're a serious baseball dad or a youngster who dreams of making it to the Little League World Series, it's going to take tenacity to stay focused until the closing credits.
...never quite becomes anything more than a passable time-waster.
It's hardly your typical Grisham project, but, that said, it's a far more enjoyable time than several of his recent cinematic adaptations.
Mickey is a 105-minute defense of bad behavior disguised as a good-natured heartwarmer.
Mickey manages to suck the poetry and camaraderie out of the baseball-movie formula, and what's left over is a mean-spirited hunger for victory at all costs.
