Good Storyline; Bad Language
I enjoyed the story of this movie, which I had gotten for the grandkids. Especially the talented boy who took the bullied boy under his wing. In the good ways, it was a chance to remember what it was like to be a part of the neighborhood after-school "gang", but it what ruined by children using foul language. Anybody who grew up in an era where there were still baseball games like these played between neighborhood children, instead of the highly driven kids sports of today; and when it was an era when children were actually safe to play away from their yards in vacant lots, knows children didn't use foul language as portrayed in this movie and the way they do today. Mouths were washed out with soap, and it just wasn't done. I wondered if this film was based on a true story. It's a shame about the language because I won't be sharing what would otherwise be a fun and great kids' story with the grandkids or anybody else's kids.
