Well, it's not the best film, however Mr. Magnum... Baseball... Tom Selleck does a great job of playing a stuck-up, egotistical chauvinistic well, zhlob and it might sound like an insult, but that is where the charm is. It's a movie where, at it's heart, it shows that Baseball transcends international boundaries... and I firmly believe that once the rest of the world realizes it's better than soccer, that will be true. However, in the meantime, it's also a movie about the worst possible culture shock and the worst possible person to experience it. And, of course, it promises a happy ending, it promises that Mr. Baseball will learn from his mistakes, and it promises that baseball will prevail. And, of course, it delivers on that promise like all movies like this too, and, again, that is the charm. But, really, it's a baseball movie and it takes a lot to make them bad.
