From the producers of "Invincible" and "Miracle"
Based on a true story, Million Dollar Arm is a predictable motivating
sport film from the Disney stable.
Jon Hamm with his flawlessly groomed stubble and cocky grin plays the
haughty sports agent Bernstein with ease. As a groomed smooth talker in
sharply tailored corporate suits, there are few to match Hamm and he
does what is expected of him. The two main characters of the movie are
Suraj Sharma, the star of Life of Pi who plays Rinku and Madhur Mittal,
the older brother in Slumdog Millionaire who plays Dinesh. Both of them
perform their roles very beguilingly and inspire affection from the
crowd. The rest of the supporting cast also perform their roles very
well especially Lake Bell who was very impressive in her cameo role as
Brenda.
I might be a bit biased since I am from India but the comedy in the
movie is hilarious...I found myself laughing throughout the movie
enjoying every moment of it. The direction and editing are also pretty
impressive. In a nutshell, all the elements in the movie combine really
well and the result is a fine movie which has plenty to offer.
So, overall, Million Dollar Arm is a finely made movie which will
impress you despite being predictable and is certainly worth a watch.
