So, look, this movie isn't going to win an Oscar. But, if you have a heart and meet it on it's own terms, you might just find the message in this movie. Manganiello and Vergara have a genuine chemistry. And there's enough in the story to make you believe in second chances... if you give it a chance.

Chiseled Dude's Chance At Another Life At Bat
This is a story of redemption of a man who unintentionally murdered a man and ruined his potential baseball career as a top prospect. After 19 years in the clink, he's out and trying to ease back into life. He finds a job as a minor league coach and realizes he still has game and can crank a fastball a long way. Will he be able to make a miraculous comeback while battling angry people who still have a bone to pick? This was certainly a positive feeling movie that handles topics without finesse yet is still rather palatable. Sort of like slammin' down a Big Mac in the car during a road trip. There were some genuinely good baseball scenes but some characters arcs are rather abrupt an unsurprising. Far from award-winning, it is still a decent story that leaves you upbeat. It was interesting to see Sofía Vergara not in her "Modern Family" character; a first for me.
Rocky Balboa clone.
Over the hill, comeback player movie. Gee, where have we seen that story line.
Snooze fest.
Vergara should stick being a joke on Modern Family. She's only good as a Latin caricature in shows. Trying to play some serious English speaking role is out of her league. Look at her acting history: low budget comedy as stereotypical, even exaggerated, latin.
