User reviews

Went to look at the user reviews and realised there's none here so I said I'd right a quick one. Its about a local baseball team where one of the players doesn't get drafted when he supposedly should have. It takes place over one match in the play off semi final. Its low budget I like the concept its got a bit of drama and a few laughs. The acting is decent is well i think its worth the watch.

If you like low budget sports movies this is really good even as big sports movies go it shows a lot more of the game than most, kinda has to as it takes place during one game but i found that to be nice something different.

Anyway I enjoyed it and would say its worth the watch

What an amazing cast and film. Bravo to Joe to writing and directing this film. And your character was utterly unforgettable! I loved how each player had a story and we had a chance to see all of them up close. I was anxious towards the end of the film. Started off slow for the first 30 mins or so, but worth the wait.

I know nothing about baseball. Had low expectations but I think anyone who has dreams and a love for something can relate to this movie. Easy watching and enjoyable.

Undrafted may be low-budget; but at the same time, it is extremely underrated and unpopularized. The thing is that you really need to understand the dialogue and just know what baseball means to any player in order to actually "get" this movie. It is intended to be extremely comical and laughable; while, at the same time, taking seriously the premise of the bitter defeat of a promising college baseball star not accomplishing his dream and getting over his grief; all while deliberately intending not to be a common underdog-cliché film. It's a spectatular and hilarious film that all athletes need to watch.

Day in the life of amateur baseball. A bit over the top at times but worth the 90 minutes if you like baseball.

I didn't know what to expect from the movie, but the story-line intrigued me. Five minutes into it and I was hooked. Let me warn you though this is not a 'Remember the Titans' or a 'The Blind Side'. This one was created at probably half the budget of the two famous movies and chances are you may not recognize a single face in the cast. However, the movie is simply awesome for some very basic reasons. First, the rusticity and grittiness is not cultivated. A movie about a ragtag baseball team in a small town looks like a ragtag baseball team in a small town including the dusty and ill-fitted jerseys or the less-than-glamourous atmosphere and no attempt has been made to beautify it to make it attractive. It can as well be shot by somebody sitting on the sideline and it kind of makes the whole drama more compelling. Secondly, the cast. They move and talk in a way like they have all been growing up with each other and have known each other since forever. There are the douchebag, the jock, the wannabe, the level-headed, the hot-headed, the local blue-eyed boy whom everybody pitches for and of course there is the jaded-looking umpire with sarcastic one-liners.

You kind of relate to it so much. Even though you may not be from a small town in America, you may not even know all the rules of baseball correctly, hell, you may not even like sports, but you get it. Because at some point of time in your life you are embarrassed by your friends and family, but you still root for them because they are weirdos, but they are your weirdos and you will defend them with tooth and nail. Because things always don't make sense and you get to make do with what little you have. And you will see yourself in the bunch of people playing a game you know little about. That is the magic of this movie.

It is so real that it is nearly unreal. It seems the dialogues were not written by a script-writer, but the actors were told to say whatever comes out of their mouth first thing and they did it so wonderfully. Each one of them has given such guileless, unselfconscious performance, that the story transcends from a sports movie and it becomes an analogy to life itself. Magic of the movie, again.

I would highly recommend it to anybody to people who like baseball, who hate baseball or people like me who don't understand baseball, but would love to watch a movie that proves a movie can be sweet and leave a gentle smile on your lips without having a single romantic plot (or sub-plot).

I turned this on mistaking it for another baseball movie from the same year with Tyler Yoechlin in it "Everybody Wants Some". I heard good things about that film and absolutely love baseball and baseball films. Unfortunately this was not what i was hoping for. I kept waiting for it to get better and it just never did. The "Coach" Ty was the worst, He was so angry and aggressive and like an obnoxious cartoon. Totally unrealistic and cheesy

Negative reviews towards this film not being about "baseball" clearly have never played the sport. It's the beautiful game regardless of what stage it is just like Fotch says it's the game...we all still try to play it regardless of when and where. And even if you have no interest towards the game it still makes for a great film, there's a message for everyone in it.

Okay, the come-on notes says this is an "intramural" game, but it's supposed to be a playoff game in some unidentified summer league. The players on both sides act like freshmen in high school or worse, but they all appear to be at least 24. Who ever heard guys beyond little league doing chants and cat-calls during a game. I guess the guys are older so they can say the F' word a lot, and go on about how hard life is beyond puberty. I kept watching it to see if there was a message someplace or some surprise ending like having a girlfriend pitch the last out. No, the message was "keep on trying." And the closing shots appear to be from the author/producer's little league or high school game. Oh well, keep on trying as there are a lot better sports movies out there.

If you like sports movies you should definitely watch it. I don't know anything about baseball yet I just loved it. It may be low-budget - and I'm generally not into sports movies - but few minutes later I found myself laughing. And I think you don't have to know so much about baseball or love it to "get" the movie. You just need to have the ability of empathy to understand the players. Keep up the good work, Joe!

Entertaining enough to watch but it's a low budget baseball film that is based on a true story. Just not enough going on and the whole film takes place at one baseball game.

Coming from down under we do not see much baseball on TV. I have fallen in love with the game via movies such as Bull Durham and now subscribe to Minor league baseball TV so I can watch the Bulls play during the season. I watch other teams also as I work from home and have it on during working hours and I just love everything about the game including the 7 inning stretch. This movie just cracks me up it is funny and reminds me of playing rugby league at a lower level in Australia when I was much younger. There are also serious moments but best of all is the lifelong friendships created via team sports. This movie shows the funny and serious sides of amateur sports and is a great watch. I am disappointed with one reviewer here who seems only interested in promoting their own site than giving a true account of this great film. If someone feels the urge to want to punch everyone involved because they dislike a movie I think they should see a professional as they have deeper issues and I am speaking of viewsonfilm you need help of some kind or maybe "you know some people just need f$%king medicine they do"

So many movies are made about the big Show, the big Leagues, some lesser leagues and so on with the usual big odds and big goals. Lots of drama or comedy, etc.

But this one shows a small but genuine moment in the life of a small team that barely matters over a single match that barely matters...

And it's awesome.

It's refreshing to see what can happen on a simple sunny saturday on that local field that you don't even glance anymore because it's just the decor you are used to and never thought anything special happen there.

There's a bit of overacting, some less believable moments. But there are also some hilarious moments and even though you might wonder what the hell you are watching up until the last third of the movie, it then sucks you in that moment with the players to live what is probably one of the best days of their lives.

A very nice movie. A very appreciated change of pace.

Pretty incredible movie in my opinion. The whole cast did an incredible job and their performances together perfectly create the funny and endearing vibe you get throughout the whole movie. Absolutely hilarious all the way through. I've already rewatched it a couple of times and probably will again.

I love Tyler Hoechlin, Aaron Tveit, and a good baseball movie. This movie delivered! It's quite predictable, but comes with all the warm fuzzy feelings of watching a great baseball game. Loved it!

I thoroughly enjoyed watching this film. Joe Mazello does a great job paying homage to his brother's baseball journey. So many relatable moments. I laughed, I cried, I loved it.

A movie with a lot of heart and spirit, some really funny moments too,the acting was very genuine, very good to see Chace Crawford play such a goofball as I wasn't sure he has that in his locker.

I don't remember what made me give this movie my 20 minute rule, but I'm glad I did. Premise: When one of their teammates doesn't make the draft, the whole team is effected; then they played the game of their lives. This movie had me in stitches within the first 5 minutes and I didn't stop until I was crying with joy at the end. After watching 2 or 3 times, I roped my family (including the 21, 17 and 9 y/o kids) into watching it with me because we all play baseball. Yes, even my 17 y-o daughter & I. We love it so much that it has become a staple movie for us on Sunday family dinner & movie nights. Overall I recommend this movie to everyone who enjoys a baseball movie inspired by real life.

I don't get the bad reviews. It's definitely about baseball - hell, the ending alone is 100% what it's like to be in a sport all your life and/or to have a kid in sports. The characters are believable to me. If you've ever been on a sports team of any kind, you definitely know and/or know of characters like these guys. Anyhow, really well written, really well acted and pretty damn funny. What sold it for me was the way it was written at the end. VERY different from all of the other baseball movies out there. Aw man, I got all the feels for my brothers, and mysy in our young days in sports, as well as, the all the feels for my own kids in sports. It elevated the ending of that movie from what could have been just another predictable movie ending. Took it to a new plane. I have already recommended this movie to friends/family.

I loved the humor a lot and I think that it was well done considering the low budget.
