#48: Million Dollar Arm (2014)

Full disclosure: I'm a huge Mad Men fan. The main reason why I was interested in seeing this movie was because of Jon Hamm. I think Jon is a great actor that deserves a shot at movie stardom. Not sure this film is going to do that for him, but it's a step in the right direction. It's a sweet film about a sports agent that desperately needs to sign a major athlete in order to keep his business. After talking to his colleague, he comes up with the idea of creating a reality show-like competition in India to recruit two cricket players to play baseball in the US. It's funny, touching, and very sweet. I love the two actors that play the Indian athletes. The story is perfectly balanced. It's Disney so of course there's a happy ending, but I like how it gets there.
