| Brian Robbins (VARSITY
BLUES) directs another sports related picture
with HARDBALL, an uplifting story about a man who
finds redemption when he's least expecting it. Keanu
Reeves stars as Conor O'Neill, an underachiever
whose gambling addiction has gotten him into seemingly
insurmountable trouble. Desperate for money, he
begs his friend Jimmy (Mike
McGlone) to bail him out one more time. Jimmy
agrees to give Conor a weekly stipend, but only
if Conor agrees to coach a little league baseball
team in Chicago's inner city. At first, Conor realizes
just how unequipped he is for this particular task,
as the assembled team goofs off, fights, and curses,
paying no attention to his authority. Eventually,
however, he gains their respect, and pretty soon,
they're winning games. Meanwhile, off the field,
Conor finds himself falling for the children's schoolteacher,
Miss Wilkes (Diane Lane).
He also places a potentially life-threatening bet
with a high-level bookie, but after a miracle saves
him and he begins to fully embrace his new role
as a coach and father figure, tragedy strikes and
teaches Conor a much more valuable life lesson.
Based on the non-fiction book by Daniel Coyle, HARDBALL
is an uplifting story that gets a boost of energy
from its non-professional cast of youngsters. |
