I would totally recommend this movie to anyone who's looking for a good laugh and a very good time especially when you are with friends. okay its predictable yeah but seriously who cares sometimes all you need is a feel good film. I like it it was fun and enjoyable good cast good music good characters etc and Jon Hamm yum yum yeah go get motivated

I can't say there is anything overly noteworthy about 'Million Dollar Arm'. but it's well paced and features a great (true) story - it makes for a very enjoyable 124 minutes. Jon Hamm is a good choice to play lead character JB, he does carry the film with his performance. There are other pleasant performances though, Pitobash Tripathy (Amit) stands out most from those behind Hamm. Bill Paxton (Tom), Lake Bell (Brenda), Suraj Sharma (Rinku) and Madhur Mittal (Dinesh) merit props too. It's a feel-good premise, one that is rather nice to see play out. The score is solid, as is the cinematography. It's a positive that they spend a decent chunk of the film actually in India, I had a inkling they might've skipped it but thankfully they do not - they tell the story well. It's probably Disneyfied in ways, but who cares. It isn't anything necessarily special, but I certainly thoroughly enjoyed this. Recommended.

not bad, light watching on a evening

Not good but eminently watchable whilst also watching Champions League highlights on your phone, which is exactly what I did. Conceptually there could be a good film in here if they’d told it from the perspective of the two Indian players rather than Our American Hero, The Sports Agent, but instead it’s very much a film about Jon Hamm learning how to feel. It’s extremely on the nose, cloyingly sentimental, and drifts into some pretty lazy racial shorthand too often. Incredibly cool that one of them goes on to become a professional wrestler irl btw – that detail alone is better than any of the film. Also still slightly astonished that the inciting idea for all of this stems from a man watching Susan Boyle??

What if fantastically portrayed version of this story about a agent in sports who decides to go out on the limb to save his practice by finding two starting pitching arms in India for MLB tryouts in the risk of making or breaking $1 million. The acting and cast thing was not exactly fantastic, but the plot development and storyline had you on the edge of your seat and entertained and left you with a smile and satisfied about how the film went.
