Everyone's Hero

Usually, i am pretty forgiving when it comes to rating movies, but this movie deserves no forgiveness. This movie is utter nonsense. Like most other baseball movies, it does cover the idea of never giving up no matter how bleak the odds look, but unlike other baseball movies, the message just does not ring true. The message about not giving up is not a constant during the movie, and is instead replaced with slapstick comedy, and booger and fart jokes. This movie could have been very funny, but instead, fails at delivering time and again. The animation is fairly decent, and it is a clever idea for a story, but in the end, every part of this movie falls thru. All in all, not even a good movie for "just the kids". Oh, and if you are a Chicago Cubs fan (which I am, seeing as that I am from the windy city) there is a TON of slandering in this movie, making the Cubs out to be cheaters, thieves, and idiots. If you are a Cubs fan, STAY AWAY AT ALL COSTS. This movie will just make you mad.

I went to this movie with my daughter expecting to NOT like it. But I loved it. It had funny parts, sad parts, cute parts, the whole she-bang. Babe Ruth has been a hero to kids for years and a movie based on him was something new. Especially in the light of coming from a baseball, and his special bat. This movie is definitely worth seeing if you have children. Its clean, funny and thoroughly entertaining. In fact I would probably go watch it a second time just to make sure I didn't miss anything. The little boys adventure is something you could imagine if you were seven years old or so. Definitely a good movie to see.

I say this with all due respect to the memory of both Christopher and Dana Reeve,as this was obviously a project that they both believed in,but this movie is profoundly dull.So dull in fact,that I had actually forgotten that I had seen it,until coming across one of the ticket stubs as I was cleaning our bedroom.No movie in recent memory has done that to me,and I have seen my share of snoozers.The animation is terrible,an the story is just not interesting whatsoever.Even my kids had trouble staying interested,and they are very easily entertained.I give it credit for being well intentioned,but in my opinion,I doubt this is something Christopher Reeve would want to be remembered for.

On the basis of most animated movies with a heart warming cast and story that is just so great you can take everyone, regrettably this is not that movie. Although I am a fan of baseball and the actors this movie is too shallow to enjoy for my taste. It has a lame story of a young kid who travels many miles to help out Yankee ball player Babe Routh. And I doubt some little five year old has the capacity to take in all the knowledge of who Babe is along with the Yankee history. This film was soggy and disappointing I was not impressed at all. And even the animation wasn't done well enough to make it nice to look at. I honestly fell asleep, I am sorry Mr. Reeve, you are still one of my favorite celebrities - *1/2

I really like baseball movies like Bad News Bears and Rookie of the Year and this movie was right up there with them. It was fun for the whole family, it was wonderfully witty and wonderful animation. The film takes place in New York City at the time when Babe Ruth was big in baseball. A nine year old kid named Yankee Irving discovers that Babe Ruth famous bat has been stolen, and his dad has been framed for it. Yankee and his talking ball set out to retrieve the bat. When they finally stole the bat back, Yankee, talking bat and ball set out on a road trip to get to Babe Ruth, with the thief not too far behind their trail, let's hope they can make it before it's too late. All I can say is go see this movie, you won't be disappointed.
