Keanu Reeves stars in this sports comedy as a Chicago gambler who gets some help with his massive debts in exchange for coaching an underprivileged Little League team. At first he only takes the job out of obligation, but his team's heart and their attractive teacher Miss Wilkes (Diane Lane) soon have him angling for a championship. D.B. Sweeney costars. (Showtime)

An unexpectedly chilled drama about social work transformed into baseball training for kids. Reeves is the powerhouse of the movie, his transformation from frivolous gambler into a solid guy is rather schematic, but never mind. So, he’s good. Confrontation with realistic gangsta environment manages to squeeze a little emotion from the viewer, and that’s as it should be. Slightly above average.
