This overlong movie never builds sufficient momentum.

Behind The Lens

Much like a baseball team, The Yankles is not just filled with heart. It has depth and layers within its various elements, which bring the drama and deeper meaning to the film beyond the obvious laughter.

The best kosher baseball movie out there, I love watching sports movies especially baseball ones, you can never have enough of them, and this ones totally kosher, so don't be a putz or a smuck and watch it. Ralph from Happy Days is in, flashback, is pretty good, as the dad, Donny gives his Most in this part.

Not bad. A little slow, and fairly predictable. At the same time, fun in spots. Suffers from "low budget-itis" a little bit. Still, fun to see Don Most again!

A little slow but entertaining in a strange way.

There's a terrific sports comedy hiding inside The Yankles, a movie that is subtler, less dogmatic and better-equipped to handle its more compelling ideas.

I've seen this movie twice already, and I LOVED it! I can't wait until it's released to all the theaters so I can take everyone I know, and let them see for themselves what I've been raving about!
