Movie News: Million Dollar Arm

I don’t know about you, but I love a good baseball movie!

Million Dollar Arm, which opens today, is based on the true story of India’s first two professional baseball players. Rinku Singh and Dinesh Patel won a 2008 reality show (also called “Million Dollar Arm”) in their home country of India to come to the United States and train to become Major League Baseball pitchers. The movie follows the two boys, and the sports agent who discovered them (JB Bernstein played by Jon Hamm), on their inspiring journey.

I smiled a lot while I was watching this movie. Million Dollar Arm is totally heartwarming. And it’s got lots of funny moments, too!

Here’s the trailer.
