As you may know "The Perfect Game" is a troubled movie. As www.sefijaonline.com reports "back in 2008, Lionsgate was interested in releasing the movie. In late summer alone, the young, ambitious studio had had three new movies scheduled to release in August, four in September and three in October (including Oliver Stone‘s much-anticipated George Bush bio, W.) And, quite simply, that was too many. None of them made quite as much money as they had hoped, and Lionsgate didn’t have the ready cash to market that many films all at once–not without a hit on their hands. Something had to give. The Perfect Game, for instance. Its original release date of August 8, 2008 got bumped. Indefinitely. The balance of the summer, all of baseballs season a summer itself, slipped away. The film was submitted to a couple of festivals, but otherwise it languished entirely, and if Lionsgate’s original idea has been to hold it until the other films on its slate generated some new money…well, it didn’t happen."(...)
I managed to watch the movie and i believe it shouldn't have been treated that way! It was a great "family movie". But no matter what happened, "The Perfect Game", after beeing realised in a limited amount of theaters, is finally available for everyone! Look for it in your local DVD store and buy it, it really worths it! And if you are still not convinced, stay tuned to "Dedicated to Emilie", because a review for the movie will be posted soon!
