Reviews for For Love of the Game
Costner brinda una de sus mejores actuaciones desde Mundo Perfecto
01/01/00
A heart-affecting midlife drama.
03/04/02
What is it about Kevin Costner in a baseball uniform?
01/01/00
Costner and Preston's convincing work together go a long way in keeping the audience interested and involved.
11/26/09
More of an infield grounder than a home run.
01/01/00
For Love of the Game is painless, but it's also pompous and pious about baseball in a way that doesn't mean much to a non-fan like me.
02/13/08
Piles on the cheese and corn and honey-sap so thickly that the film, at times, seems to be in danger of being smothered to death, which would have been fine with me.
01/01/00
Costner baseball flick is great at motion, not so hot at emotion.
11/07/02
Feel-good tampering is rampant throughout.
01/01/00
The copious footage devoted to Billy and Jane's encounters might have been easier to sit through is there was any magic between Costner and Preston, but they're acting in two different films.
06/23/02
The story is wildly uneven.
01/01/00
If you love baseball--and I mean love and adore baseball--then this is your perfect date movie. If you just like baseball, like me, then spare yourself the agony.
01/01/00
The perfect "compromise" movie.
01/01/00
While For Love of the Game has much to recommend it, particularly Costner's strong, understated performance, Raimi throws too many unnecessary curves.
