MILLION DOLLAR ARM opens in theaters everywhere on May 16, 2014!
Million Dollar Arm looks like it’s going to be a great family movie. It reminds me of the movie Jerry Maguire as it starts off with a sports agent who loses everything and finds a new person to represent. Except this one the main character goes to another country to find The Million Dollar Arm. Check it out!
In a last ditch effort to save his career as a sports agent, JB Bernstein (Jon Hamm) concocts a scheme to find baseball’s next great pitching ace. Hoping to find a young cricket pitcher he can turn into a Major League Baseball star, JB travels to India to produce a reality show competition called “Million Dollar Arm.” With the help of a cantankerous but eagle-eyed retired baseball scout (Alan Arkin) he discovers Dinesh (played by Madhur Mittal from “Slumdog Millionaire”) and Rinku (played by Suraj Sharma from “Life of Pi”), two 18 year old boys who have no idea about playing baseball, yet have a knack for throwing a fastball. Hoping to sign them to major league contracts and make a quick buck, JB brings the boys home to America to train. While the Americans are definitely out of their element in India — the boys, who have never left their rural villages — are equally challenged when they come to the States. As the boys learn the finer points of baseball — JB, with the help of his charming friend Brenda (Lake Bell) — learns valuable life lessons about teamwork, commitment and what it means to be a family.

It looks fairly interesting..maybe one the guys would enjoy. I think it is interesting they wanted a cricket player but then again some football kickers are soccer players (or were)
