I have not seen Million Dollar Arm. I really want to see the movie because the story is interesting to me. I am not a sports fan but I like Sports movies, especially about underdogs. This movie certainly fits that genre. It is about a Sports Agent who is trying to find the next big baseball player. He tries something completely different and recruits some cricket players from India. Along the way he learns that there is more to life than the lifestyle he has been accustomed to.
Many of my friends were part of a trip out to California to see the movie and meet the stars, it was the #MillionDollarArmEvent which was similar to the event that I am attending next week in California, the #100FootJourneyEvent, #ABCFamilyEvent and the #GuardiansOfTheGalaxyEvent. I’m kinda hoping that we get a DVD of this movie to review but since it is coming out in October it might be a little too soon, but man do I want to watch and review this movie. Learn more about the release of the movie below.
