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. Read critic reviews

The pace slackens when the location shifts to LA but the performances and the gentle hand with which the subject is directed keep you interested.

Craig Gillespie's by-numbers schmaltzathon never transcends its tourist's-eye views of India or patronisingly cliched views of its people.

In its own gently comical way, Million Dollar Arm plays up the misunderstandings between Hollywood and India -- as well as the mutual fascination.

A cold, hard business story, reshaped by Disney into a warm, fuzzy hug.

There's nothing wildly unpredictable on offer here, but it still winningly manages to sneak its way past your defences.

Very funny underdog comedy that's genuinely heartwarming and full of charm.

Audience Reviews for Million Dollar Arm

Oct 18, 2015Really a 4.25, but I can't give quarter stars on here obviously lol. This is a damn good sports film. It's an inspiring story. Million Dollar Arm has a great mix of good acting, comedy, drama, a touch of Moneyball, and a dash of romance. I would recommend it to anyone, even if they're not a fan of baseball or sports in general.nStephen S Super Reviewer

Oct 20, 2014A enjoyable and to an extent charming story which really happened. Hamm is believable and hits the right note as a failing sports agent who hatches a plan to find baseball pitchers in India who will be nurtured for a tryout for MLB scouts. The two young Indian actors are very good as is Arkin, Bell and Paxton. It can drag in spots but overall a very good sports drama. 10-19-2014Christopher O Super Reviewer
