Sam Raimi: Ranking His Movies From Worst To Best

12. For Love of the Game (1999)

url-5 Okay, I will admit this right away. This never appealed to me because a) it's about baseball and b) it has Kevin Costner in it, and all know in Hollywood mathematics a+b = Too Long. I am sure if you love baseball and Kevin Costner doing Kevin Costner things, you might love this movie about a fading baseball star reliving his glory years, trying one last time to win it all to impress his current girlfriend. We've all been there. Luckily for me, most of the theater going public also agreed and stayed away from this one. Despite an impressive $80 million budget, it brought in less than half that at that at the theaters. I will say that the acting, though, is far better than that of Crimewave.

Been there, done that but not too well. Continually financially restrained. Now (and still) lives in Western Canada and talks some hockey and parenting on ogieoglethorpe.blogspot.ca and watching trailers on 2minutemovies.blogspot.ca.
