I loved the movie and actually was around when this all took place. Who cares if they embellished some things and left out others the story was told to show young people if they work hard at something that is important to them, they can reach their goals, become successful and feel proud of their achievements. This movie also showed the discrimination that took place in certain areas during this time period and how the players overcame the challenges this put upon them. This was a life lesson that all our young people could learn from. Both my grandchildren play baseball and they loved this movie. Their parents and grandparents watched it with them and got as much enjoyment out of the movie as they did..

This is an absolutely perfect movie. Everything in it is perfect, from the story (based on a true story) all the way to the actors. This film is a rare treasure, such as only comes out once in many, many years. Truly moving, well acted, well filmed, well directed. A must see for all, young and old.I have just finished watching the Blu-ray version of this movie. I am glad to make it a permanent part of my collection, a movie I will watch over and over, for many years to come.If you have not seen it yet, don't walk, run to get it. Don't just rent it, buy it. You won't regret it.

The indication 'based on a true story' is supposed to be a cover-up for all the cheap clichés in film. The story is a fiction about a underdog miracle team. The true story is a lot different, because the little league Industriales de Monterrey team had played two seasons on the local 4 team little league circuit before participating for the world series in the US. They were so dominant that year that they repeated their world series win the following year. It was the US's trauma the Americans could not explain, so the film comes up with an explanation: the miracle myth. So 'the true story' has nothing to do with a miracle, nor underdogs. Sorry for the spoilers... I still recommend watching it...

I went to see this movie because my daughter loves sports movies. It was completely enjoyable although a little bit clichéd. The acting was not that good but there were so many feel good moments that I could completely forgive any faults I may have found. I even clapped at the end. My daughter's friend was cheering as if he were actually at the game. What made this even more special is the knowledge that this "perfect" game actually happened and, along with the end credits, we got to see the actual players. This is a great movie for the whole family, and that in itself, is a great feat!
