'For the Love of the Game' is another movie I watched for the podcast, I came into this thing basically blind. A Kevin Costner baseball movie, an aging professional pitcher slowly realizes that he is pitching a perfect game, as he works out (through flashbacks) a complicated history with the longtime girlfriend he is in the process of losing, played by Kelly Preston. Schmaltzy, sometimes near unbearably so, but darn it on the whole the things works. I didn't want to like it but was reluctantly won over, a case where coming into the film knowing so little about it definitely worked in its favor. I give this ** now, but gave it **1/2 just after viewing it.
