MOVIE TRAILERS

Looks good! So refreshing that the spotlight is being turned on Mexico for a change! There are so many stories yet to be told and I truly hope this flick opens doors to those possibilities. It so great to see Mexico's Patricia Manterola vying for mainstream success. She's so hot! Also good to see Louis Gossett Jr. back on the big screen again. Thanks Alex for bringing this flick to our attention. I'm there! Viva Mexico!

I loved the trailer, i'm glad to see another movie someone beating Texas at something, it's awesome how Texas has become the bad guy instead of the good guy all the time.

Patricia Manterola wow! Great Movie!! Go Monterrey, mexico!!

I loved the trailer! Patricia Manterola is great! Good luck with the movie!

Creo que será una muy buena pelicula, ya queria ver a Patricia Manterola en la pantalla grande y el tema sobre los niños de Monterrey que ganaron esa ocasion está genial.

I couldn't go see a movie where one is supposed to root for Mexicans over Americans. And then the seen where the ball hit the Texas symbol was way too much. It made me angry. And don't tell me there's no agenda involved. If I didn't know better I would have thought Juan Hernandez wrote the screenplay. This show is going to bomb with American audiences. There's just not as many America haters out there as Hollywood thinks there are. This could even hurt the Obama campaign with Middle America. This movie strikes a wrong note with the American people. And no patriotic American could ever go to see this movie and especially no patriotic American would ever, ever take their children to such a movie.

That scene where the baseball hits the Texas symbol shows the whole intent of the movie. It is anti-American through and through. I doubt many good Americans would go see such a movie and those who do would walk out of it. Not a movie to take a child who you want to establish some pride in our country. But then again, welcome to Obama's America. Where the only good guys are those who oppose us.

Some people here have no pride or spirit. To say that this film is anti American is just simply laughable. It is a film about the true story of the first international winners of the Little League World Series. And those who believe America should be portrayed as the ultimate and only heroes in the world are truly delusional. I am an American in the sense that my ancestors were Lakota Sioux Indians as well as English and German-Dutch. I am very proud of my ancestry and find films like this as inspirational. Those who don't? Well all I can say is you really need to get over yourselves and realize that America is not the only nation in the world. I mean get real. This is a film about kids. You sound as if you would begrudge anyone who didn't meet up to your specifications. You must believe you are perfect.

When is this movie being released? We are in Dallas, Tx and it is Aug.16th. We could not find the movie being played at any theater.

The release date has been pushed back indefinitely by Lionsgate. They claim marketing funds promised did not show up but if that is true, they have no one to blame but themselves since they waited till the last minute. What better time to release this film then right now during the Little League World Series? And so far they have no new release date. I don't think they realize they have disappointed many people who were very much looking forward to seeing this film.

Thanks Cary and Marty for you comments. I live in Monterrey, living here since '94. I really liked the trailer and looking forward to see this movie here in the city. I do agree that it might not appeal Texans as much because of the poetic license the movie makers took when the ball hits the Texas flag, but c'mon, it is just that: poetic license. Do you think we like to see Monterrey as a rural town? We do not like that at all. Specially with this city, one of the most modern cities in Latin America. Have you ever been here? We have world class infrastructure and the best baseball stadium and basketball arena in Latin America. But I digress. Just try to enjoy the movie as it is, a true underdog story.

To everyone that thinks this movie is anti-America or not American. Sorry to disappoint your ego, it’s just a movie, about a team, (could have been from Canada who cares) working together to win a GAME. You all need to stop looking at a person's color but what they offer from the inside out. I just want to see the movie and I will whenever they decide to release it.

where can i watch this movie cus it looks really good

Wow, I just stumbled upon this site. I was obviously pleased to read so many really nice comments. I wrote this screenplay and have lived with the story for over 5 years, through the making of this film and it's soon-to-be release. While most of the comments were positive, I had to smile at some of you who somehow saw this film as being Anti-American or unpatriotic. A fascinating, though completely incorrect analysis. America is a great country, and we are great because we can also laugh at ourselves, and even acknowledge our shortcomings - even when uncomfortable. In the mid-1950's when this story was set, it was no picnic being black or Hispanic in many parts of the country. Schools were segregated, "Whites-Only" signs were commonplace and state sanctioned in many municipalities. Until 1956, a Hispanic was not guaranteed the right to sit on a jury in the State of Texas until the Supreme Court intervened. The incident with the African-American kid being isolated from his teammates in Texas (lightly portrayed in the film) actually happened. In 1955, every single Little League from South Carolina chose to forfeit rather than take the field with a team of African American CHILDREN from the Cannon Street YMCA (that's documented fact). On the other hand, there were many Texans who embraced these Mexican kids and "adopted" their team - following them all the way to Williamsport. So, it's part of all of our history, good, bad and ugly. But isn't a tale about kids coming to America with nothing, and rising to the top - isn't that the American Dream? Didn't most of us, or our families, show up here with little or nothing and built a better life? This movie is not anti-American at all, so I am sorry if a few of you jumped to the conclusion that it is. By the time Angel Macias reached Williamsport, the fans (all of them, black, white, Hispanic, men, women, etc) were on their feet routing for him and his history-making accomplishment. It has real heart, something not many uber-expensive, special-effects laden, sex & violence laced Studio pics have these days. Anyway, it's just a feel good film about a real event of kids rising from dirt poverty to achieve a dream that very few of us could imagine. We (the film makers) did our best. Any one who feels they could do better should spend 5 years of their lives researching a story, writing a book, and a screenplay, raising the paltry dollars to make an independent film, overcome all odds to maintain a story intact through grueling production and then, raise P & A funds in the worst Recession since 1929 to get the film distributed. LOL.
