3.5/5

"Dealin' With Idiots," a sort of "Waiting for Guffman" for Little League, isn't a great movie, but it's a heck of a lot better than its title.

[A] flat, aimless comedy skewering the parents of junior baseball players.

B+

Garlin's ultra-restrained approach suggests that attempting hilarity is sometimes a veiled defense mechanism.

Garlin's second feature is consistently sweet, funny and smart. Keep it up.

B-

To fully appreciate Dealin' with Idiots, the viewer must have some working knowledge of its writer/director/star Jeff Garlin. Or perhaps patience is a more accurate description.

Great cast but just falls flat, worth a watch but had so much more potential

After sitting next to parents at kids games I actually relate to this movie. I think it doesn't go far enough and could have been way funnier.
