Based on a true story, Disney’s “Million Dollar Arm” follows JB Bernstein, a once-successful sports agent who now finds himself edged out by bigger, slicker competitors. He and his partner Aash (Aasif Mandvi) will have to close their business down for good if JB doesn’t come up with something fast. Late one night, while watching cricket being played in India on TV, JB comes up with an idea so radical it just might work. Why not go to there and find the next baseball pitching sensation? Setting off for Mumbai with nothing but a gifted but cantankerous scout (Alan Arkin) in tow, JB stages a televised, nationwide competition called “Million Dollar Arm” where 40,000 hopefuls compete before two 18-year-old finalists, Rinku and Dinesh (Suraj Sharma, Madhur Mittal), emerge as winners. JB brings them back to the United States to train with legendary pitching coach Tom House (Bill Paxton). The goal: get the boys signed to a major league team. Not only is the game itself difficult to master, but life in the U.S. with a committed bachelor makes things even more complicated-for all of them. While Rinku and Dinesh learn the finer points of baseball and American culture, they in turn teach JB the true meaning of teamwork and commitment. Ultimately, what began as a purely commercial venture becomes something more and leads JB to find the one thing he was never looking for at all-a family. (c) Walt Disney Pictures

I was very excited to see Million Dollar Arm. I love Disney sports movie. Million Dollar Arm was a great family film!

There were a lot of things that I liked about Million Dollar Arm. I really liked the cast. I thought that Suraj Sharma and Madhur Mittal were great as Rinku and Dinesh, the two finalists in the contest that are trying to win a Major League Baseball contract. These two characters have never been to the United States before and have not been exposed to different things like elevators and pizza. This concept provides many laughs in the film.

I liked that part of the movie took place in India. I like to see this culture and sights on film. I also really liked the music in the movie. It was done by A.R. Rahman who won an Oscar for the music from Slumdog Millionaire. The music fits the mood of the film.

One thing that I like about Disney sports movies is that they are films that make you feel happy. This movie does that. Although it is predictable, I enjoyed watching it. This movie is also a great film for the whole family. Just know if you are taking some younger kids, there are a lot of subtitles in the movie because the two boys from India do not speak English for most of the movie.

I enjoyed Million Dollar Arm and I will be telling my family and friends to see it!
