John Delia

Based on a true story, Walt Disney Pictures brings another fine movie to the screen involving sports. Returning to baseball Million Dollar Arm opens in local theaters throughout America in the midst of the pros 154th season. Dramatically presented adding comedy and sweet tears, the movie has all the trappings of a good run at the box-office, as long as the giant lizard doesn’t stomp on it. However, it’s longevity will be the test as there are a lot of little league, high school and minor league teams that should bump up the tally, and rightly so.

You don’t have to be a fan of this giant lizard, but those that are will certainly get there fill during this two hour massive annihilation fest. Does the movie live up to its predecessors? Yup!
