Pros: chemistry between Costner and Preston, great cinematography on baseball scenes Cons: plenty of clichés
I've been a baseball fan all my life, and a diehard Mets fan all that time. There are few films about baseball that don't speak to me on some level, and For Love of the Game is no exception. Kevin Costner is Billy Chapel, a pitcher ...
Pros: Beautifully shot, occasionally touching, Jena Malone in a supporting role Cons: The love side of it is just okay.
For someone who doesn't watch very many sports, I sure do get a kick out of sports-related movies. Ever since the Twins, Rookie of the Year and Angels In The Outfield (which look about as much alike as Deep Impact and ...
Pros: Cosner is Cosner, but his mind lasts when the character's body gives out. Cons: Cosner's acting. Doesn't it ever change?
As part of the Multiple Intelligences class I took for my Ed.D, I decided to review this movie. But bare in mind, I watched the movie for a particularly reason (to determine the amount of multiple intelligences that are used in the movie); this, ...
Pros: Believable Acting. Tactful Love Scenes. Cons: Flashbacks might annoy some, but are presented well.
There are multiple reasons that I liked For Love of the Game. In this sports-meets-love theme movie, we witness the emotional exhaustion that is possible when people are faced with life changing decisions. Although the plot centers on...
Pros: Amazing baseball scenes and amazing Kelly Preston Cons: Hits the SAP button maybe once too often.
For Love of the Game is actually two movies in one: A baseball movie and a romance. The sporting sequences are easily worth 5 stars and familiar romantic stuff rates a solid 3. As a whole, how much you like it depends on your interest in the wonderful...
Pros: has a good pace with romance and baseball both!! Cons: None
What a movie-- For the Love of the Game! You know, I can't even watch a movie for enjoyment anymore without thinking twice about writing an opinion on it. To me, movies and books should be a release or a vacation away from Epinions, and it usually is,...
Pros: Good Director, Bad Movie Cons: Costner and Preston read their lines like there's no life in the script....Hey, wait a minute! They're RIGHT!
The first time I saw For Love of the Game I didn’t hear it.
It was the afternoon Chicago-to-Seattle flight, I was shoehorned between two armrest hogs and I was contemplating the soggy turkey-and-cheese croissant with equal parts glee...
Pros: Riveting and realistic baseball scenes Cons: The romance was a little too realistic, as in, too much on screen fighting
Not to overuse baseball cliches right here at the start of the review, but it looks like the embattled Kevin Costner finally hit a home run with For Love of the Game.
I liked the film for two reasons. One, it has the most realistic romance I...
Pros: It finally ends Cons: You have to wait for it to end
For Love Of The Game is about a baseball pitcher named Billy Chapel (Kevin Costner) who plays for the Detroit Tigers. Chapel is 40 years old and knows nothing else but baseball and has a tremendous love for the game. The movie begins with...
Pros: Excellent acting, Very good story line, Extremely authentic Cons: None
This movie revolves around one single baseball game, many flashback scenes from the past five years of a once legendary "Super Star” pitcher for the Detroit Tigers. “The Love of The Game” is definitely a love story, which integrates the action of...
Pros: Good baseball scenes, adequate acting and direction Cons: Script is full of clichés and shortcuts, leaves the story high and dry
When making a baseball film, there is a long legacy of great films to be stacked up against. There is the romance of Bull Durham, the comic stylings of Major League and The Bad News Bears, the majesty and beauty of Field of...
Pros: Love and baseball, what more could you want in a movie? Cons: Kind of predictable
Some people think For the Love of the Game is about baseball. Okay it is, but it's more than just baseball. Billy Chapel is an aging baseball superstar, at a major point of decision about his career. He's played his entire career for one team,...
Pros: A good compromise between a guy movie and a chick flick Cons: Some unrealistic events and Preston's mediocre acting
I don't care much for baseball, but I never have been able to say no to Kevin Costner. It seems I am not alone. None of the women in this movie say no to him either. When my husband brought the video home from the store, he figured he had a Field of...
Pros: the baseball scenes Cons: the repetitive fight scenes
For Love of The Game is a fairly good baseball movie. But it is also a romance movie. And it tries to balance both of these sides into one pretty good movie. Of which it is fairly sucessful
The story revolves around Billy Chapel's (Kevin...
Pros: Preston and Costner have a great repertoire and it was a good love story. Cons: Some predictability
