Despite the expository dialogue and emotional schmaltz, this is an emotionally-involving look at the relationship between White American fathers and sons. Baseball is used as a lingua franca between the two generations and, ultimately, bridges the generation gap between them. If only it were that simple, movies like this would quickly become redundant.
The sense of awe at the forces of human nature and what reality makes us do - to make us whole people after a personal disruption - are palpable. The plot meanders yet inexorably leads to the right and inevitable conclusion: That dreams are telling us something important and we ignore them at our peril.
