Mickey

Best-selling author John Grisham deviates from his usual literary demi-monde (thrillers) with this winning film that stars Harry Connick Jr. as Tripp Spence, a widower who goes on the run with his 12-year-old baseball-phenomenon son, Derrick (Shawn Salinas). They assume new identities and flee to Vegas, where Derrick -- now known as Mickey -- joins a team that makes it to the Little League World Series. But will fame give away his true identity?


Okay so at first it was hard to get into one because I am not a huge baseball fan. Two because I don't like lieing and knowing this a film for families I am like this is a great message for kids if you lie your life will be great. But I think for older kids who can sit all the way through the movie its great because it shows that although for a time you may get away from the lie and it might seem like its great but eventually the past will come back to haunt you. Plus there are so many other lies you have to tell to get the one covered up. Plus the baseball part was one of the first baseball movies I really like including the baseball parts. Even though it is only little league. Good one for dads and kids to sit down together for.
