When the owner of the hapless Minnesota Twins (talk about art imitating life) dies and leaves his grandson (Luke Edwards) the team in his will, the 12-year-old decides to manage the team himself. Aside from the obvious headline value of his move, no one seems to like the idea and the kid finds himself battling for his fledgling managerial career. Eventually, however, he wins the confidence of his favorite player (Timothy Busfield) and before long has the team playing like kids: for the fun of it, rather than the money. (Now there's a concept.) Though billed as a family movie, the saccharine level is high enough to scare off most adults. But kids, particularly baseball fans, will eat it up, as much for the appearances of baseball stars like Ken Griffey Jr. and Paul O'Neill as for the plot itself. --Marshall Fine

I have an eight year old boy who loves playing Little League baseball. He and his baseball buddies love this movie. They laugh again and again. It really captures their imagination. And its the Minnesota Twins which makes dad happy too!

Little Big League.......2005-10-09

A charming film that was fun to watch. I'm not going to provide a synopsis since there are plenty around. I recommend this film.

Better Than Expected.......2005-02-22

I'm sure you folks already know what the movie is about; no need to retell the plot again. Anyway, Little Big League is a really good movie that most families will enjoy. I saw this as a kid and still love it as an adult!

From start to finish, the movie pulls you in. Although it does seem to stumble a little at points, it has an overall great flow. By the time Little Big League is over, you'll be begging for more; it's that great of a movie!!!

Family favorites.......2007-03-25

I bought this trio because I read somewhere that one of the movies was filmed in my old home town. They were good family fun movies and that's about it. (I didn't really recognize my old home town...)
