OK, I know it was a kid's movie, but couldn't they have picked another team to be the villains of the movie? LOL, OK, but other than that I watched Everyone's Hero last night, wasn't too sure what it was... Full review

Everyone's Hero is charming kiddie fare. I didn't hate it but the story sorta screamed straight to video. However, for a film about a talking bat and baseball, I think I was a little more entertained then I expected to... Full review

"I lost Interest at the talking baseball."? "It wasn't realistic"? If you went to an animated KID's movie expecting "Citezen Kane" You're loony.I liked this movie, it was quite fun. Not everybody likes every film, but some of the reasoning... Full review

It's strange how people are reacting to this movie. I'm not sure what they're expecting. This is simply a fine, fun movie for the 4 to 10 year old set. I brought a group of kids with me that were... Full review

Great story. Makes you laugh often and makes you cry sometimes (well, maybe the most sentimental of us). Brings the warm feeling of old-days-baseball. I am not big fan of the game but still loved the mood of the picture.... Full review

Yankee Irving (Jake T. Austin) was born to New York fans with a love of baseball. His hero, of course, is the iconic Babe Ruth(Brian Dennehy). His biggest problem is that he can't actually play. Things are still pretty cool... Full review

Although we are not big baseball fans, in general, our family seems to enjoy a good baseball film, and Everyone's Hero was no exception.
After scanning the back of the DVD box for credits, I was prepared to love Everyone's Hero and knew we had to give it a try.

Over all, I think this movie is a great show, but that is MY opinion.
Parents should be there with them watching the movie and explain the whys and why nots to certain behaviors we don't think acceptable.

B- - Eileen Clarke DVD The animated baseball tale Everyone's Hero is a rare modern treat.

That's the movie's first problem.
As if the death of Harry Caray and the Steve Bartman fiasco weren't enough horrible news for Cubs fans this past decade, Chicago's management and players are the heels in "Everyone's Hero.
