The press picks up the story and it is read by a star of the Boston Celtics, who supports the boy's protest. Soon members of the Miami Dolphins have joined them, helping to spread the protest to Major League baseball players and other athletes in both Russia and the United States. Eventually, when it seems that baseball season will have to be cancelled because of all the boycotting players, the boy gets audience with the president that leads to a summit hearing and a commitment from Russia and the U.S. to total nuclear disarmament -- and to Chuck's return to Little League playing.

Reviews for Amazing Grace and Chuck
The film's style is as doggedly ordinary as its story is preposterous.
Ultimately Mike Newell manages to make the film into something worthwhile.
[Director Mike Newell] might have fared better had he employed a more whimsical touch.
As amazingly bad as it is audacious, film will live forever in the hearts of connoisseurs of Hollywood's most memorably outrageous moments.
A hope-filled film portraying how the individual can make a difference and that humanity is capable of following its best instincts.
