My review · Reviewed 07/01/2022

The movie is probably a little better than it otherwise would be because of the chemistry of the two stars. For an indie movie it is not a bad watch - the production is pretty good and that sticks out as amateurish. Wait, I take that back. In the 1200+ reviews that I've done I don't ever recall a movie that had such a hard time keeping the actors in place from one scene to the next. Is it too much to ask to have someone remember if an actors hands were down at the end of one take so that they can start from the same position in the next? This is something that I would never notice has it not been so prevalent. Another similar mistake was made towards the end of the movie when one of the leads said that he was pretending to be Babe Ruth except that he had to do it right-handed. Earlier in the movie he imitated Kirk Gibson, who is lefthanded.
