Three grown men who have been bullied since childhood over their failings in sports set up a baseball team to play all the Little League teams in the US to prove that they can be just as good as anyone else, but disaster strikes when one of them is revealed to have been a bully himself!

This was a so-so comedy, with some clear influences from early Adam Sandler comedies such as Happy Gilmore and the like. The performances felt a little flat at times, and some of the jokes just weren’t very funny. Probably not the kind of movie you’d pay to see, but perhaps worth watching if it’s ever on television one afternoon.
