Despite cribbing from other baseball films, this is standard-issue sports fare that still seems intent on grafting unnecessary piles of story on top.

An amiable if aimless ensemble comedy that's unable to overcome its amateur status.

While it's touching that Mazzello has seen fit to celebrate his sibling's tenacious love of the national pastime, there's no escaping the fact that the dugout-and-diamond shenanigans are consistently tedious.

Mazzello pens a smart script worthy of a theater stage. Like its intramural baseball team, underdog film Undrafted captures the magic of a ball game and the price of big dreams.

The errors outnumber the hits in this heartfelt ensemble drama meant to pay tribute to the uniting power of baseball.

An itchy valentine to the world of intramural baseball, studying its humiliations, camaraderie, and gamesmanship with ultimate interest in its characters.

Joseph Mazzello's tribute to his brother's baseball team and giving hope to underdogs is amazing. It also praises good baseball players who should have gone pro, but for whatever reason never got drafted. This movie is to remind them why they started playing in the first place. Undrafted is all about praising every underdog out there who never got their big break!!!!

Mazzello has crafted a raw and intimate gift to loving and wanting a thing and how the two are different beasts, inexorably intertwined and sometimes in need of unpicking. Here, it is baseball though - but for the obvious filial connection to the story - it could be about any of the passions we little humans let heat our blood and the bonds we make (however fractiously) with those who burn alongside us. Funny, clever, beautifully - jubilantly - performed and with every beat exactly where you want to tap your foot, Mazzello's film reminded me that intimate storytelling contains oh so many multitudes.

I was pleasantly surprised by this movie it was really good with a lot of laughs and had heart. I recognized a lot of the actors in it even if I didn't know their names and the overall story was quite good, it was a really fun watch.

For a movie being held only on a baseball field due to its low budget, this was quite an enjoyable movie. The banter was funny and it had a good story. The characters and actors were great and felt real, and if looking for a nice sports film I'd recommend giving this one a shot.

It’s like watching a bunch of kids from the drama club being given baseball uniforms and told to hang out in the dugout and act how they think baseball players act.

Awesome!! If you are a guy who grew up playing and loving baseball, this movie is for you! It depicts how guys actually talk, joke and fight together in their love of the game and each other! It will bring back pleasant memories.
