The Scout is the best comedy-fantasy about baseball ever made, which goes to show that if Hollywood keeps trying, eventually someone will get it right. Aug 12, 2009 | Full Review…

Even with the modest allure of Albert Brooks in what amounts to a mainstream effort, The Scout should get a quick trip to the showers. Mar 26, 2009

The Scout was directed by Michael Ritchie and written by Mr. Brooks and Monica Johnson from a script written by Andrew Bergman years ago. It's probably not all that valuable to wonder how so many talented people went so wrong. May 20, 2003

Rarely does a movie start high and go downhill so fast. It's as if the filmmakers progressively lost their nerve with every additional scene. Jan 1, 2000 | Rating: 1.5/4 | Full Review…

It's been a long time since there's been a good baseball movie. The Scout makes you wonder if there's ever going to be one again. Jan 1, 2000 | Rating: 1.5/4 | Full Review…

An amusing comic premise, mixing baseball and psychiatry, gets lost along the way in a film that displays much evidence of post-production tampering. Aug 12, 2009 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

Having sat through many a Fraser film, I am constantly amazed that there is nothing this boy can't do. Well, except act his way out of a paper bag. Mar 11, 2003 | Rating: 1/5 | Full Review…

Baseball fans will hate The Scout because it makes a mockery of the game. Not quite as badly as Ed, which stars a monkey as the star pitcher, but close. Non-baseball fans will hate it because it's not funny. Dec 1, 2001 | Rating: 48/100
