Million Dollar Arm (2014)
TOMATOMETER
AUDIENCE SCORE
Critic Consensus: Pleasant to a fault, Million Dollar Arm is a middle-of-the-plate pitch that coasts on Jon Hamm's considerable charm without adding any truly original curves to Disney's inspirational sports formula.

Sappy, saccharine, and predictable to the point where it's almost painful.
A completely by-the-numbers affair.
JB is not the wisest of men and Million Dollar Arm makes no bones about him being a character in need of an upward arc. Even so, the movie never sacrifices the other characters as mere handmaidens to his growth.
Million Dollar Arm, based on true events, did a fairly good job of keeping me engaged even though I knew exactly where it was going every step of the way.
There is a gaping hole where "Million Dollar Arm"'s heart should be that widens to crater-size in the second half.
Million Dollar Arm is cute, cloying, simplistic, borderline offensive ... and thoroughly effective.
Audience Reviews for Million Dollar Arm
Formulaic is the operative word
Super Reviewer
A typical feel-good movie that believes that being charming is enough to keep us interested, but it is clichéd, excessively predictable to the point of being annoying and tries to sell us an incredibly corny (and laughable) message that "baseball shouldn't be about business but about fun."

J.B.: How fast do they pitch in cricket?...Fine, bowl. How fast do they bowl in cricket? It is easy to see the main issue with Million Dollar Arm, as it is all over the poster. I like Jon Hamm, I look forward to seeing what he does, once Mad Men ends and he can really delve into some much better film roles, which he is more than able to handle, but his character is not the interesting part of this story adapted from reality. Still, we follow this sports agent in a film that takes the Disney sports movie formula (which has worked many times before) and applies it to this "Jerry Maguire heads to India" story. Unfortunately, while there are commendable elements, the film has little desire to really delve into the more interesting material involving the two kids with the million dollar arms. read the whole review at thecodeiszeek.com
