Gibsonburg [HD]

Great story
Based on a true story, this film has more heart than any Hollywood "blockbuster". Tiny Gibsonburg was hit hard by the recession and needed something to believe in. Well, it sure wasn't their pathetic baseball team, which stumbled to a 6-17 regular season record (7 of those games called by the "run rule", which we used to call the "slaughter rule" or "mercy rule"). Then, they began a playoff run, which was simply unbelievable. This is a TRUE independent film with a cast of unknowns (the only people you might recognize in the film are 80's comedian Judy Tenuta and former MLB pitcher Kent Mercker) who do a great job! Even if you don't like baseball, this is a wonderful film about overcoming the odds and growing up. Many people will relate to it

Excellent movie!! Did a movie night with my son who also very much enjoyed it. Taught him to never give up and always believe in yourself. Highly recommend!!

Thoroughly Enjoyable!
This film touches the heart! No cursing, no violence, no crazy sex scenes, no out-landish CGI.....just a wonderful, feel good story you can watch with the kids. Based (loosely) on a true story. The acting was far from Academy Award winning but I give it 5 stars anyway. It was produced with very low budget and a lot of heart! I there were more films out there like this.
