While the basic milestones of Alexander's career are adhered to, the film is a typical Hollywood blend of fact and fancy.

All Critics (2) | Top Critics (1)

To be sure, this is a somewhat different version of the story of Alex the Great from the one that was solemnly published in his obituaries two years ago.

Its accuracy is in doubt, but it's a competently made straightforward standard biopic on Hall of Fame pitcher Grover Cleveland Alexander.

Standard biopic with Reagan adequate in the lead and Doris pert if a bit overly gushy as the wife. The background info is full of the usual fictions but at least they stick to the baseball facts pretty well.
