Disney’s Million Dollar Arm First Look

Disney’s Million Dollar Arm First Look

Are you a fan of Jon Hamm?  What about baseball?  One of Disney’s newest movies is about both.  When I saw the trailer I was excited about this not only because it’s a based on a true story but it also talks about cricket a bit.  I grew up in the Caribbean and we didn’t play baseball we played cricket so I am excited to see this movie and learn more about the characters the movie is based on.  The movie is due out on May 16th, 2014.

About the movie:

In a last ditch effort to save his career as a sports agent, JB Bernstein (Jon Hamm) concocts a scheme to find baseball’s next great pitching ace. Hoping to find a young cricket pitcher he can turninto a Major League Baseball star, JB travels to India to produce a realityshow competition called “Million Dollar Arm.” With the help of a cantankerous but eagle-eyed retired baseball scout (Alan Arkin) he discovers Dinesh (played by Madhur Mittal from “Slumdog Millionaire”) and Rinku (played by Suraj Sharma from “Life of Pi”), two 18 year old boys who have no idea about playing baseball, yet have a knack for throwing a fastball. Hoping to sign them to major league contracts and make a quick buck, JB brings the boys home toAmerica to train. While the Americans are definitely out of their element in India — the boys, who have never left their rural villages — are equally challenged when they come to the States. As the boys learn the finer points of baseball — JB, with the help of his charming friend Brenda (Lake Bell) — learns valuable life lessons about teamwork, commitment and what it means to be a family.
