While the material is interesting, it's not substantial enough to sustain a feature-length treatment.

The film spends a little too much time on the fates of previous home run balls in general.

A twisty little documentary about the aftermath of Bonds' fat swing.
05/19/05
It's a terrific story -- part mystery, part farce, part legal nail-biter -- with a last-minute reversal so bitterly ironic it could have been scripted by Billy Wilder.
