| Rating |  | | Date | August 02, 2005 | | Summary | A Perfect Game | Content
 | I used to feel there were two types of Kevin Costner movies: First, the wonderful, fun baseball films (Bull Durham, Field of Dreams) and there is also the film that brings out a self-indulgent performance (The Postman, Robin Hood). With FOR LOVE OF THE GAME, Costner combines the two getting a self-indulgent baseball flick. The director (Sam Raimi) does some interesting stuff but, it cannot save the film as the screenplay is riddled with cliches' and an interest-less romance. Kelly Preston fills a role more apt to Meg Ryan and Kevin does some great athletic performing but is given nothing else to sink his teeth into. The DVD looks nice and the sound is great. It includes some irrelevant deleted scenes and a brief making-of documentary. "If you build it, they will come" does not apply here...

| this movie has to be one of the best baseball and love movies I have ever seen. It is perfect for a date because the guy can get into the baseball part and aa little bit of the love story and the girl can get into the love story and a little bit of the baseball story without feeling let down |
| Rating | | | Date | June 26, 2004 | | Summary | Costner should stick to baseball and Westerns | Content
| If Costner stuck to baseball movies and westerns he would be fine. This was a really good movie. It is actually a cross between a chick flick and a sports movie. The baseball scenes are expertly done and the other part of the storyline is expertly woven into the movie. I really enjoyed this movie and think lots of other people will too. Even if you've read the book, you should still see this movie. Just my opnion though, I could be wrong. |

| I am not a baseball fan but i can tell you this movie is really good it is really deep full of emotion. I don't know anything about the game basball i live in England but yet i was able to really enjoy it bcoz it doesn't really focus on the game but on the personal life of a successful baseball player. Brilliant buy it. |
