Adam Sandler chooses to not be entirely cloying. The film captures some of the pettiness of the front offices and ownerships pretty accurately. Maybe underplays the exploitative racial animosity so many owners have for their players (starver, snyder, jones, sterling) it gets a little feel goody at times but its engaging and has a ton of fun cameos. It feels a lot like the million dollar arm or trouble with the curve set in hoops.
