Audience Member mi aspettavo di più :(( Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Such a waste of time. The director got no skills to tell the story, he tries to be artistic but the film appears as messy and trivial. The use of pop songs is just foppish. Out of all the baseball players the director picked the ones who are not hot, cannot act and eventually bit his own ass by saying stupid bigoted things during promotion, how lucky is he? Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member It delivers one cringe-worthy cliche after another, drawing on bad movie conventions from the 80s for most of its inspiration, which would have been ok if it were a parody or a spoof. Except it isnt. It takes itself extremely seriously. And before long, you have been served so much embarrassment that you applaud the filmmaker for his persistence and obliviousness to all the cringe-worthiness. The corny dialogue is only less baffling than the bombastic and gawdawful music. In the end, it's not about baseball, it's not about homosexuality, it's not about famous dead singers. Or family, or love, or loss. All it is is a bunch of good looking bare bodies without souls. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member The self-important announcement that the baseball players play themselves in this movie seem only presumptuous at first, but after some introductory bits you actually find their enthusiastic overacting rather charming and quite touching really, baring both bodies and souls for all to see. With a little more focus, Scud could become a distinctive new voice in HK-cinema, whereas for now he's just another indie director with existentialist leanings. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member it reminds me the city is without rowing as well. did cry in the scenes of arm injury and match failure. because it happened on me before. learnt to stand right back at the place you collapsed. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Not quite sure what the point was but just about watchable.
