For Love of the Game: Movie Review, HD DVD Review
9/14/2007 Posted by Admin
Takes audiences out to the ball game--and into the bedroom--with Kevin Costner leading the charge.
He’s Billy Chapel, a 40-year-old big-league pitcher whose career and personal life have gone into foul territory.
His on-and-off girlfriend, Jane (Kelly Preston), is trading him for a new job in London, his team of 19 years is being sold to corporate America, and now he stands on the mound at Yankee Stadium with thousands of furious New Yorkers screaming for his removal.
What does Billy do to turn it all around and have the game of his life? The film answers with a plot that’s part baseball and part sudsy love story, each of which is absolutely predictable.
In this case, the predictability works and that’s because of Costner, who understands what baseball means to this country. It’s our game and Costner brings to the role the respect it deserves.
On high-definition HD DVD, the film finds new life and it remains a quintessential crowd pleaser.
Rated PG-13. Grade B.
